Not only had our school been visited by the many businesses and community members listed above, but we were provided snacks from Ellie McCall from the business Chase International.
All of the Tallac staff and students feel very thankful for the time these businesses had taken out of their day, and the snacks that was provided for the meet and greet. With all of our hearts and soul, thank you.
Kalayna Miller, Mt. Tallac High School student
Kalayna is not only very articulate but has become a fixture at The Attic where she volunteers after school. I’m sure there are many more like her….her enthusiasm and forward looking….at Mt. Tallac. Thanks, community members for the support.
Kudos to the community leaders and business personnel that realize the importance of making a connection with these amazing kids. As far as Kalayna goes……..I’d love to have her in our Soroptimist group when she’s done with school!!!!!!
