Spring Cleaning?    Please think of the Wellspring Yard Sale!   

Antiques, wooden toys & puzzles, sports equipment in good to excellent conditions, winter gear and clothes in good condition, books, anything you think might earn the school some money. Please, please no junk or things you think MIGHT end up in the garbage because that takes money away from the school. Thank you, Melisa
