A HUGE thank you to Ms. Pickens’ 2nd grade class! 💛🍋

On Tuesday, they held a lemonade stand and raised an incredible $844.05 for the OAKS Nutrition Center! Not only that, but they also handmade sweet cards for our patrons.

We are absolutely blown away by the hard work, kindness, and generosity of these amazing young people. The future is bright with kids like these in our community! 💕
