Volunteer Appreciation Celebration
Deer Crossing volunteers are part of the mosaic that compliment and support our school.  Our volunteers are a key component in our daily work with children.  You enable us to do far more for children than would otherwise be possible.  We value and appreciate your time, talent and dedication.  You are cordially invited to our Volunteer Appreciation Celebration on Thursday, June 5.  Invitations will be sent home with Thursday Announcements on
