The School's Carpet Needs Cleaning!

The rugs at our school are in need of a cleaning but we have been on a wait list with the School District for a few months now.

If anyone has a carpet cleaner and is willing to lend it to Janitor Janice for this purpose, we would be most grateful! Or if anyone who is planning to rent one in the near future would consider letting the school get in on the rental, that would be a nice option.

We only have 2 rugs to clean. Please contact Kelly Bannister if you can help: kelly_bannister@telus.net
