Additionally, David Martinez-Cooley was honored with the Outstanding Staff award, and Amy Hartigan received the Dottie Russell Award for grandparents. Congratulations to all winners!

✨ There’s no place like our school! ✨

As we wrap up the final days of Teacher Appreciation Week, our hearts are full of gratitude for the incredible staff who make magic happen every single day. 💚

This week was filled with fun celebrations, smiles, treats, and moments to remind our teachers and staff just how appreciated they truly are. We ended our journey down the yellow brick road with our Flying Monkey’s banana split bar 🍌🍨 and special gifts for our amazing team!

To our teachers and staff: thank you for your dedication, compassion, creativity, and the love you pour into our students each day. Our school wouldn’t be the wonderful place it is without you. 🌈✨💛

Today we celebrated our incredible staff with a colorful rainbow candy bar and delicious mini doughnuts from Van Dough - Mini Doughnuts & Coffee!

This was just a little reminder to our teachers and staff at Leila G. Davis Elementary of just how sweet they are 🫶

Our staff at Leila G. Davis Elementary followed the yellow brick road this morning… and it led straight to breakfast! 🌟

Kicking off Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week, Wizard of Oz–style—because our staff truly has the brains, heart, and courage to do it all (and maybe just needed a little coffee, too ☕️).

There’s no place like our school… especially with this crew. Let the appreciation week magic begin! 💛🌈
