Good Evening AmPark Families,

We begin this Friday's post with a heartfelt acknowledgement and thank you to all of the Veterans in and around our extended AmPark Family.  We are grateful for you all and for your service.

Dear AmPark Parents,

Have you searched all over the house, the houses of friends and relatives, in the car, under the beds, in backs of closets, for that beautiful new sweatshirt... jacket... water bottle... hat... lunch bag... etc.? 

Well you haven't looked everywhere until you've looked here at AmPark!!!  Please stop by our AmPark Lost & Found or ask your children to take a look because it's getting chillier everyday and the gorgeous layers of children's clothing are piling up here!  Our AmPark PA has also established an IG page of Lost & Found items as a resource for you:  https://instagram.com/amparkparentsassociation?igshid=MXRiY2poOXg3aGk0eA==

​
Please check it out here and see some pictures below.  Maybe you'll see what you're looking for there and if not, we hope that you'll drop by and finally find that lovely thing you've been searching for!   Thank you!
