Facility Usage Discussion
Palmer families, join us for a Facility Usage Discussion on March 12 from 5:30-8 p.m. at Palmer Elementary. A third-party facilitator will be leading this meeting to discuss how the community feedback led to the decision to make Palmer a permanent ECE Center. Dr. Marrero will be present to discuss how we will make this decision come to life. This meeting is open to all, but we want to ensure the voices of Palmer families are heard!
Interpretation services, childcare and light refreshments will be provided. See you on March 12!
