THANK YOU PTO and COMMUNITY
Thank you to the PTO and all the volunteers who made our teachers and staff feel so special this week during Teacher Appreciation. From the delicious breakfast and parfait bar, to the fun snack cart, and treats in mailboxes to the amazing Friday luncheon. The spirit days made it extra fun as many staff dug into their closets to find their favorite concert t-shirts! Thank you PTO and Sandyston Community.
