This morning at Park we had a ribbon cutting and dedication of a new playground Bee. This Bee is in memorial to Robyn Bowin and the ribbon cutting was done by three of her grandkids, the oldest currently attends Park.
I know several of you contributed to make this Bee a part of Park's playground. Thank you! We are certain Robyn would have loved it.
