John North has been having a blast supporting Greenvale this week. He looks serious but he's a party animal in his superhero costume! #everygeckoeveryday
An update on the Greenvale Park PTO fundraiser, the students have learned about John North, the Big Woods, and the Ames Mill and in the process have raised over $10,000! If they reach their goal of $15,000 they get to dunk Principal Richardson! We are very pleased to help the students learn about their town and raise money simultaneously, consider donating at greenvaleparkpto.com!
