PTSO STAFF APPRECIATION - Your PTSO Funds at Work
In September, Ms. Cohen and the W.E.B. Leaders helped the PTSO with our monthly teacher treat. The students made notes of affirmation and thanks for each staff member. These notes were attached to bags of caramel and cheese popcorn and passed out to each staff member. Thank you to the W.E.B. Leaders and Ms. Cohen for helping us show our appreciation to our wonderful SPMS Staff!
