Our weekly meeting on Friday, April 27 will be at St. Marcus School 2215 North Palmer Street, Milwaukee WI 53212. Our meeting will run from our regular time of 7-8am. A tour of the school will be given shortly after our meeting concludes around 8:15am by Superintendent Henry Tyson. School starts around that time so we should be able to stop in the classrooms and see the students in action. Questions? Contact Danielle Deller at danielle.deller@gmail.com.
