Dear Families,
It takes a village to build a school community, and we need everyone at the table. Please join us on April 16th at the B&O Station for dinner and a conversation about our school merger. Your partnership is the key to a smooth and successful transition for our students. We want to share our progress, listen to your ideas, and discuss how we can work together to make the "Defenders" community stronger than ever. "Your voice matters. Your support matters. Your partnership is essential."
RSVP Today: Please let Linda Hoey or Darla James know you're coming by April 8 at 330-740-8776 or 339-744-6985 or email linda.hoey@youngstown.k12.oh.us, darla.james@youngstown.k12.oh.us .
