High Five Friday at ROWVA Elementary today! Our Legion Post truly enjoy this with these children! We appreciate being asked to come and spend some time with these children. And the projects of their posters, cards, and coloring pages is always so neat to look through. Thank you so much, Mrs. Danner, Mr. Tucker, and the teachers for involving us each year. It is a heartwarming experience for all of us.
