A Friday treat for the best team around! 🥪🥤

Last Friday, our Teacher Appreciation Committee wanted to treat our incredible staff to a delicious end-of-the-week lunch from Chicken Salad Chick!

Our educators work so hard every single day to support our kids, so we loved being able to serve up boxed lunches, fresh lemonade, and sweet tea to help them kick off the weekend on a high note.

Thank you to our amazing PTO members and parent donors who make these monthly treats possible! And a huge thank you to our entire staff—we hope you enjoyed lunch! 🍋
