Last week, Director of Early Childhood & Family Services, Kim Clark, sent us these photos from the Longview Early Childhood Center rubber mulch project. She shared that the Longview building partners, NEMSCA Head Start and Kinder Kare GSRP helped cover the cost of the mulch, noting that 400, 40-pound bags of rubber mulch were placed under the bay of swings. The small (but mighty!) team of Mark Eastman, Kim Clark, and two volunteers from the Kiwassee Kiwanis Club, along with some students helped to lay all of the mulch. A true team effort!
October is Principals Month! Please take a moment to celebrate and thank a principal this month.
