☕🐯 SEND A SIP, SHARE A SMILE! 🐯☕

Our Bland Elementary staff gives so much each day to support, encourage, and inspire our students. We want to start the year by reminding them just how much they are appreciated! ❤️

We’re excited to kick off “Send a Sip” — a way for our families and community members to help treat our amazing staff to Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck throughout the 2026–2027 school year! ☕🚚

This fundraiser will remain open all year long, allowing our community to continue showing appreciation for our teachers and staff with coffee, drinks, and treats throughout the school year. We are kicking it off this summer with the goal of bringing a special treat to our staff at the beginning of the school year! 🧡💙

A special thank you to the Rainey family and Travelin' Tom's Coffee of Wylie for providing such a meaningful way for our families and community to support our staff — one sip at a time! Your generosity helps us celebrate the amazing educators and staff members who pour into our students every day. 🐯☕
