How can a local vendor become a certified Shen Shop retailer?
July 28th, 2021 by lindsay.valentiI would like to thank all of the cleaners that helped keep our kids safe. I hope the school district gives these people some kind of a bonus. They worked all though covid. They were exposed to all kinds of chemicals and took on extra duty’s. Without the cleaners and support staff schools couldn’t open the buildings. I appreciate all of you. Thank you for keeping my child safe.
