At Our Apalachin Elementary School
by Don Davis - Your Community Representative
of the Shared Planning and Decision Making Team
     I'm glad to announce that Open House was a great success. I'm sure by the full house of about 1,200 people, that everyone had a good time. What a turnout for a small community. 
     I had a chance to walk around the school and all the displays looked great. The halls and classrooms were blooming with talent from all our students and teachers,
     Special thanks to St. Margaret Mary's Church for allowing us to use their parking lot to run our shuttle buses to and from the school. Thanks to Wayne Card and his staff for the extra help that night. I'm sorry I ran out of hot dogs to feed the crew, but the hot dog cook, Mike Clark, ate a few too many!
     Thanks to my food staff for all their help - The Clark family - Donna, Mike, Cody, and Joey. Dick Hammer was promoted to head hot dog server. Thanks to Jim Mrocka and Megan on the soda line; Tracy Manning, our head cashier; Lisa Howle, and crew on the Beanie Babies, Scott Fairbanks our co-director of operations. 
     Thanks to our sponsors: Donoli's for the pizza, Don Davis Meats for hot dogs and supplies, Frito Lay for the chips, and Coca Cola for the soda.
     Also, our bottle drive was a great success. Thanks to all who donated.
