Update on Maria Tsikoudakis
We have some incredible news to share—our prayers have been answered! Our amazing Maria Tsikoudakis is in remission! 💙
We are beyond grateful and so incredibly happy to welcome Maria back to Greek School. She will be joining us every Wednesday to help our students prepare their songs and music for our special programs and celebrations throughout the year. Her first day back will be this Wednesday, and of course, we want to give her the special Greek School welcome she deserves! We would love to shower Maria with flowers and fill the room with love as we celebrate having her back with us.
🌸🌷💐 If you would like to bring a bouquet of flowers for Maria on Wednesday, please do! 🌻🌹🌺
We can't wait to see her, hug her, celebrate her, and welcome her home to our Greek School family. What a beautiful way to begin our school year!
