Ms. King's Corner
Thank you Sonoma families for all the love and support throughout this school year.
Staff appreciation week is coming up. Please take a moment and fill out this form to acknowledge and thank a staff member at Sonoma. I will be doing daily shout outs to staff using these comments from parents.
Please check your child's folder for a paper that can be filled out for staff appreciation week as well. These can be turned into the main office.
If you are interested in helping out with staff appreciation week with donations, setting up staff rewards, or anything else for this important week please contact me at shorts@harpercreek.net or 269-441-7803
We appreciate all you do as parents, now it is time to recognize all the amazing work our staff does to support our Sonoma Leaders. Thank you!
Thank you,
Ms. King
