Ann Hohn takes a photo with wish kid Jenna (tallest girl), her sisters and mother.  Jenna's wish was to visit New York City.  Robert Peirce and the attorneys and staff at Robert Peirce & Associates law offices have been supporters for 12 years.  Students were able to get their faces painted at the big event.

The Trinity Middle School Student Council presented the check to Development Coordinator Brittany Youngman (middle row, far left). Thank you and congratulations on a job well done!
