Ocean Springs Upper Elementary PTO

05/09/2026

Big smiles, LOTS of sweet treats and a gift for all Ocean Springs Upper Elementary School teachers & staff to help kick off their summer! 🍏🍫🍨⛱️

Each year, our PTO winds down the end of the spring semester by celebrating National Teacher Appreciation Week. We include ALL teachers and staff, and although it’s just for a week, our hope is that they realize how thankful we are for them EVERY day! 🤩

Teachers wear sooooo many hats — mentor, encourager, protector, cheerleader, role model, friend. Throughout the year, they plant tiny little seeds of knowledge, confidence, and compassion — all of which allow our children to grow. The roles they play in our little’s lives reach FAR beyond the classroom, and as parents, there are no words big enough to say thank you. 😌

The year flew by per the usual, the kids grew bigger, and another chapter comes to a close. We hope you all enjoyed this special week celebrating YOU. We are forever grateful!! ~ LOVE, Upper PTO 🫶🫶🫶
