Our monthly You Are The Light Celebration recognized our incredible staff & students for being Trendsetters, Classroom/Community Catalysts, or Quiet Heroes within the Allentown School District.
Our March celebration was held at William Allen High School, and guests were entertained with performances from Central Elementary Cheerleaders, Ramos Elementary Rising Stars, and the William Allen Theatre Group Performance.
