We truly appreciate the amazing teachers and staff at Thomas Elementary! A special thank you to Walmart Supercenter #2883 for your generosity, and to the International Women’s Club for making this possible.

May 4–8 was Teacher Appreciation Week. If you haven’t had a chance to treat the teachers at your neighborhood school, there’s still time to show your support! Teachers should be appreciated every day.
