On Friday morning, the kids headed to Waveny for their 4th Grade Picnic. The parent team of volunteers, wonderfully led by Molly DeGaetano and Georgie George, organized a day filled with games, activities, ice cream, and a fire engine pizza truck! Thank you to this amazing team: Lisa Sutton, Melissa Merrill, Sabrina Matthews and Kara Gilliam.
