📣 A Special Morning Treat for Our Car Rider Parents! 🚗🐔❤️

The Jerry Ross PTO was excited to partner with Chick-fil-A this morning to surprise our car rider parents during drop-off!

The first 100 parents received a complimentary breakfast biscuit sandwich along with a card for a free menu item to enjoy on a future visit. Parents who arrived after the first 100 still received a card for a free Chick-fil-A item, ensuring everyone received a little extra appreciation to start their day.

A big thank you to Chick-fil-A for helping us celebrate and support our amazing Jerry Ross families. We are grateful for community partners who help make special moments like these possible!

📸 Check out a few photos from this morning's giveaway!
