Staff and Teacher Appreciation Week!
Thank you to the staff and teachers who show up every day with patience, kindness, flexibility, humor, and heart. The support you give, the encouragement you offer, and the countless little things you do behind the scenes make a lasting impact on students, families, and our community.
Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and our school community is stronger because of you.
We appreciate all that you do. ๐๐ค๐พ
We couldn't have done it without Sir Benedicts Tavern on the Lake, Scenic Cafe Duluth Mn, Rockview soap, and all the amazing families at Lester Park!
