Miss Bierne, representing the May Overby Elementary Student Council, stopped by with treats, fantastic artwork, and a generous donation from a fundraiser organized by the students.

We truly appreciate the thoughtfulness and support from both the students and staff. Aberdeen is lucky to have such amazing young people!
