Thank you to everyone who participated in our first aid kit fundraiser.  Together we sold a little over $3,000 worth of first aid kits, and the preschool gets to keep half of that, which will be an excellent start to our scholarship program!  Because we added a couple days to the sale, the kits will be here the first week of December.
