🔥 From the grill to the classrooms, appreciation was served all day at North Oak! 🩵

To wrap up Teacher Appreciation Week, Dr. Fuga spent the day outside grilling for our staff and making sure our teachers felt celebrated and appreciated. From burgers and hot dogs to sausages, beans, chili, and so much more… today was all about giving back to the incredible educators who pour so much into our students each and every day.

Thank you to our amazing teachers and staff for your dedication, heart, and impact. North Oak is better because of you. 🩵🍔🌭
