Thank you also to Stacy Beck, Jamie Davis Smith, Sarah Remes & Lauren Roche-Garland for their incredible photographs of school events throughout the year. Additionally, thank you to Chris Salvatore who has helped to maintain and manage the website and to Madison Bosurgi for her help with social media and information gathering.
