We would like to send some extra thanks to our student, parent, and staff volunteers, our DJ Jay Stegall, Garden Coordinator Thea Klein- Mayer, our Capital City Wellness Team, all of our parent vendors, our community partners- Briya PCS and ANC4B, and certainly not least, Atlixco's Grill () and Migue's Mini Donuts ()!!
