Community Partnerships and Resources

This page is dedicated to sharing resources for parents and their families, and to highlight local community organizations that have partnered with our school. 

While we appreciate ALL of our community partners, we want to give a very special shout out to Springfield Pharmacy for their incredibly generous donation that funded the materials for our Hair by Elie Klein group.
