Thank you to the PTA for purchasing our new Air Purifiers for the Cafeteria and the SACC room. The smaller one will be placed in the SACC room, where some of our students eat lunch. The larger one, pictured here, will be placed in the cafeteria.  The air purifiers and filtration unit are designed to capture and destroy airborne particulates, bacteria, viruses, pollen and other allergy triggers.
