On Friday April 4th, we had the privilege of showcasing our SPLASH program to Representative Virginia Foxx, Senator Phil Berger, Representative Reece Pyrtle, Dr. Stover, and other local dignitaries.
I take great pride in our program, and it was a wonderful opportunity to highlight the achievements of Stoneville Elementary.
