TEACHER APPRECIATION LUNCHEON

 

To all of you who contributed (large and small) to Teacher Appreciation Week, THANK YOU!!!

Today's luncheon was a big hit with everyone - Plenty of food, and we had some awesomely yummy stuff!

We hope you will continue to contribute your food, donations and precious time (every once in awhile) to help say "THANKS" to the best Teachers and Staff in the state, country, continent, planet and universe!

Rich and Lois Fuller,
Teacher Appreciation Committee

P.S. We'd be remiss if we didn't particularly say a HUGE "Atta-Girl" - (Once Again) - to Cheri Crabtree. Among other things, Cheri made the cool "You're a Star" door decorations and rounded up some really nifty door prizes. If you get an opportunity, please let Cheri know she's a "Star" too by any measure!
