Teacher Appreciation Week
Don't forget that even a heartfelt note, particularly during these changing times, can go a long way. So consider sending a greeting of your own to recognize your teacher's hard work and flexibility this year!
Supporting Our Essential Personnel
We'd like to keep the love flowing to our front line workers as regularly as we can. If you'd like to contribute to our Feed the Front Line fund, you can donate here: paypal.me/BGSPTO or via AtoZ Connect (in the store, choose go to the Donations category). You choose how much you'd like to donate. Each time the pool reaches $200, we'll partner with a local establish to feed our front line workers!
