Teacher Appreciation Luncheon- May 9th, 2019
We are SO CLOSE to our goal of $800.00, thank you to all of you who donated. Also, a big thank you to those of you who signed up to come help cover recess and lunch for our teachers. We have a few more spots in different lunch times. Thank you for all your support!
In recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week in May, we want to provide a luncheon in honor of our teachers and staff. They eat with their students each day and don’t often have quality time to just spend lunch together as a team. We are asking for your support by helping us supervise their recess and lunch as well as any monetary donations that can be made for a catered lunch. We are in need of about $800.00 to have a fancy luncheon catered by Zappone’s Italian Bistro and Catering (http://www.zapponesbistro.com/
