A huge thank you to and for supporting Brennemann Elementary! 💙
Throughout the month of April, The Reservoir donated a portion of every Avaline wine purchase to Friends of Brennemann. Last week, they presented a check for $750 to Brennemann teachers and administrators.

Partnerships like this make a real difference for our students, staff, and school community. Thank you to everyone who enjoyed a glass of wine for a great cause, and thank you to The Reservoir and Avaline for your generosity and support!
