TEACHER'S FAVORITES LIST
Crusader Families,
God has blessed us with INCREDIBLE Teachers and Staff! The PTF has done some extensive research to learn a little more about these amazing people... (actually, we just had them fill out a questionnaire)!
Please use this list as a resource throughout the year to surprise and encourage them (Birthdays, Christmas, or anytime you want to show them you love and appreciate them)! This is an easy way to show our teachers and staff how much we value who they are and all they do for our children. Thank you! - PTF Leadership Team
