“For the Spring-a-Palooza, we utilize those funds in a lot of different ways,” said Kristal Medlin, Assistant Principal of FBBCA. “This year, we’re actually looking into possibly new athletic uniforms for sports teams, supplementing some of the technology within our classrooms, taking a look at our preschool area; kind of sprucing it up a little bit with new furniture, new kitchen sets, those kinds of things.”
