We’re still trying to figure out which PTA board members these are. 👀

Never a dull moment with this PTA board!

This is your sign to convince your PTA board to do the ghost photoshoot trend. 👻😂

Last seen reading a book and hiding out in the nurse’s office.

We are asking everyone to respect her privacy during this difficult time. 😂
