Dear Elmwood Families,

First of all, we want to express our gratitude for our teachers and staff at Elmwood School. What awesome work they do keeping students engaged, learning, and excited about school each day. We are so lucky to have such a hardworking group of individuals.

We thank everyone who donated to our sweet drinks for our teachers and staff! What a great way to shower our teachers will the love and gratitude that they deserve. We are enjoying all of our teas, soda, waters and coffees in these last few weeks of school!

We are also grateful for the partnership with the PATT who have helped shower our teachers with gifts of appreciation this week. We also would like to thank them for all of their hard work all year to make school a fun place to be for our students.

We cannot believe there are only 14 days of school left! While things haven't always been easy, we have all learned to value and appreciate all the moments we get to share together in the building.
