We are in the process of making outdoor enhancements and improvements to our school grounds, and one of our hopes this year is to obtain a gas grill so that we can grill for students, teachers, and the community on special occasions.

We are hoping to find a grill in good condition with 3 or more burners and a working igniter. |
