SNACKS

We can always use more snack supplies!  Note to all parents / guardians:  If you are able to send snacks and drinks in, it would be much appreciated by our team members.  Particularly pre-packaged snacks such as chips, cookies, crackers, pretzels, etc…If each team member could bring in a case of water, that would be great!
