With the help of your generous brunch contributions and our amazing volunteers, the PTA was able to show our community’s deep appreciation for everything our teachers and staff do to help our children grow and thrive.
Here’s how we spoiled our teachers and staff to throughout the week:
- Beautiful flowers and handmade cards from students
- Relaxing 15-minute chair massages provided by Mari Bodywork
- A delicious brunch spread complete with fresh-squeezed juice — made possible by all the families who generously donated food
- Gift bags and custom T-shirts
- A delicious lunch from Mingalaba and ice cream bar from Humphrey Slocombe to end the week on a sweet note.
A heartfelt thank you to every family who participated - we are so grateful to be part of such a caring and involved community!
