Community Service

On June 13 & 14, the Zoellner family will be participating in the Relay for Life in Plattsburgh. This is a very special event that helps us raise money for cancer research.  It is also a way to pay tribute to those who have died from cancer and an opportunity to honor those who are cancer survivors.  If you wish to make a donation or would like more information, please either talk to AJ Zoellner in grade 8 or talk to Thomas Zoellner in the parking lot during pick up between 2:00 – 2:30 PM.  Thanks you!
