Our Back-to-School night was so much fun! A big thank you to those parents and kids who braved the questionable weather to join us for this special event. Despite the clouds and light rain, we had lots of fun activities. We'd like to extend a big thank you to: Manda for setting up a terrific solar oven display and demonstration; Katie for sharing her artistic talents; Lt. Bill Edwards of the Pflugerville Police Department for taking a turn in the dunk tank; Willie from Ceramics n' More for providing art activities; Cpl Clowdus of the Pflugerville Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit for sharing information and keeping our community informed; and the Stoney Point High School Junior ROTC students for volunteering to help run the games and activities. You are all very much appreciated!

We are now accepting WIC vouchers for produce. Please pass this on to those in our community who may benefit from this service.
