A huge shoutout and a heartfelt thank you to Ashley Kittilson Photography! 📸
Through her "Christmas Minis for a Cause" fundraiser, Ashley didn’t just capture beautiful holiday memories—she turned that joy into a generous donation for three of our local teachers. Congratulations to Sara Schaefer (Northbrook), Ashley Bain (Lincoln), and Abby Fancher (Blackstone).
Thank you, Ashley, for investing in our schools and our community.
