We received a sweet gift from the students at Central Coast New Tech.

We have loved partnering with them over the last couple of years and selling their beautifully crafted candles in Monarch Books.

Most of all we have loved curating stronger community connections. As a community we should all be proud of , the staff and students alike are extraordinary.
