Help us reach our goal of over a $1000!
Have you been to the Lost and Found already this year? A good indication that your child's clothes need labels! Help reduce the pile of Lost & Found items at Flynn School! Order all kinds of labels through Mabel's Labels and a portion of each sale will go directly to Flynn School PTO:
