If you're on Facebook...
If you're on Facebook, please support the school by voting for the William P. Gorman Fort Banks Elementary school in the Kohl's Cares program on Facebook. Could you imagine how awesome the outdoor landscaping and playground could be with $500,000? Imagine the luxury of waiting to pick up your child under a roofed sidewalk that had nice evergreens to break the wind from the ball fields?
