In last week’s article titled Superintendent Holds First Meeting; Board Honors Students of the Year and Spelling Bee Winners, I reported that Shell had donated $50,000 to help pay for a three-lane walking track at Cypress Grove Montessori Academy. I also wrote the track was projected to cost $250,000.
Happy Birthday wishes to Diane Duhon on March 24th. Love, from your family and friends.
