“I have spent a couple days with dads who have fulfilled their community job requirements. I continue to be happily surprised and encouraged by the dedication and commitment that families have to our school. I want to thank families for their continued dedication to Community Preschool. It sure makes me feel good about people!”Mrs. Martinez
