BACK TO SCHOOL FESTIVITIES
We hosted a Back-To-School Luncheon for the Staff catered by Mark and Malinda Baker at Pudges Blue Bell. Delicious as always! We gifted the Staff with Wawa gift cards and Expo Markers. Decorated cookies donated by the Delany Family and Wooden Pencil Signs donated by the Pittek Family.
For the Students, We decorated the school with Balloons and Chalked the Walk for the 1st day of school. We hope everyone has a great school year! For our very newest students, we placed signs on their lawns to give them an extra warm welcome. Thank you the our Welcome Committee Chair, Jamie Irish and volunteers who traveled all over our district to make sure each new student received their lawn sign before the first day of school.
