A special thank you to Mid-Shore Community Foundation for organizing yesterday's Giving Tuesday fundraising marathon! This show of community support allows us to further our Foundation’s mission of helping teachers bring innovative instruction to the classroom, broadening students' experiences with special field trips and keeping us moving forward with planning renovations to the Kent County High School planetarium. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
