Teacher Appreciation Lunches Sign-Ups
Teacher Appreciation Week is next week and the PTC is gearing up to provide the final lunches of the year for our wonderful teachers and staff on Wednesday, May 10! We are so grateful for how parents/guardians go above and beyond in making these occasions special. We could use your help once again by signing up to donate additional food/beverage items to supplement the main meal. If you’d like to lend a hand, check out either or both of the school-specific sign-ups below. Thank you in advance for your contributions!
