Thank you so much to everyone who bought flowers from our Valentine’s Day fundraiser — we raised over $500, which will go toward our fundraising goals, like new library books and great Creative Arts and Sciences programs for our kids!  Special thanks to Natalie for making all the bouquets and to all our last-minute volunteers who were able to come man the table on Friday.  We appreciate you all!  ♥♥♥
