Thank you to all of the parents who attended our T.G.F.D. Graduation. Also, congratulations again to Tommy for being selected to read his promise letter during the ceremony. I hope all of our students keep their promise to be drug-free and make good decisions in the future! Finally, thank you to all who contributed to the group gift for Deputy Seward. He very much appreciated the gift certificates.
