If you see the staff in yoga or pajama pants on Friday, it will be because no one fit in their jeans due to all the delicious treats we've consumed this week! Just kidding about the PJ part 😁 But, seriously, we have been so well-pampered this week that it's almost embarrassing! We kicked the week off with the teacher's room table full of snacks to get us through. On Tuesday, the PTA delivered three giant Center Store pizzas. On Wednesday, our morning was brightened by flower deliveries by students and breakfast pastries from an anonymous parent donor; today we gorged ourselves on soup, salads, breads, and of course dessert! I know that our coffee-loving staff is looking forward to tomorrow's Fancy Coffee Friday. Again, thank you to everyone who made this week so special. We truly feel valued and loved.
