TEACHER APPRECIATION

Every year, each grade level sponsors a breakfast for the entire staff upon returning to school. The Teacher Appreciation committee is putting together a fabulous breakfast this month sponsored by Pre-K, Kinder and 1st grade. We are reaching out to our wonderful community for monetary donations for support. Please show your teachers and staff some much deserved love. No amount is too small. The suggested donation is $15 per student. Click the link below to donate.
