Judy McLeod gave an update on Plantation Elementary - thank you notes from the kids (how sweet!). Also since it's cold and flu season, the school is in need of tissues and hand sanitizer - if you can help donate these items that would be appreciated.

Those children will really benefit from your generousity!
