Teacher Luncheon
It’s that time of year again! Conference week is so busy for our teachers and staff, so on the Tuesday of Thanksgiving/Conference week, our Hospitality Committee hosts a luncheon for them. This year, we are serving Wawa and need some help with funds. If you are able to, please send in Wawa gift cards to offset the cost. Can’t get to Wawa to get a gift card? Send the PTO funds via Venmo or PayPal. Thanks for helping to support our teachers!
