We have many generous individuals and organizations that touch the lives of our students in many special ways throughout the year. This December was no exception as we had one anonymous couple donate $100 to help with student lunch accounts. We also had Tyler Barnes an officer with the Quapaw Tribal Marshals Office, who contributed $750 to help with student lunch accounts. QPS would like to say thank you!
