LOST & FOUND

Thank you to Marguerite Fifolt for organizing the Delaney lost & found area. Her efforts are greatly appreciated and it looks fantastic! For those of you who do not know, the lost & found collection is located in the YMCA entrance off of the Delaney Cafeteria. Items remain for a short period of time before being donated to charity. Please feel free to stop by if your child has misplaced an item or two.
