MCBA Breakfast Kudos & New Photo

The 2012-2013 Massachusetts Children’s Book Award program (MCBA) culminated in our annual voting party on March 15th. A hearty thanks once again to the members of the PTO for their generous financial assistance, and to Jennett Murphy and the many parents who volunteered to create a memorable café experience!
