🧺☀️ Today, we wrapped up an amazing school year by treating TOE teachers & staff to a picnic-themed End-of-Year Staff Luncheon! From delicious picnic style bites and drinks, to lots of smiles, and an exciting raffle full of fantastic prizes, it was the perfect way to celebrate a year filled with learning, growth, laughter, and countless memories. Big thanks to Chuck Lager GCTC and Publix Grande Oaks for their support today, too!
As we pack up our picnic baskets and head into summer, we wish everyone a season filled with fun, adventure, relaxation, and plenty of sunshine. 🌞🍉
After a full year of volunteering, planning, fundraising, celebrating, and cheering everyone on, even the PTO needs a little time to recharge our batteries and recover! 😅🧃
Don't worry....We'll be right back at it soon! Keep an eye out for our updated Year at a Glance, coming soon! 🗓️🎉
Have a safe and happy summer, everyone! ☀️⛱️
PTO Over & Out! 🎤✌️🧺

🤠🌵 We wrapped up our final day of Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week with a trip back to the good ol’ USA, western style! 🇺🇸⭐
Our amazing school families saddled up with an abundance of thoughtful treats this morning including pastries, donuts, fresh fruit, juice, coffee, muffins, and so much more to make our team feel celebrated, fueled and appreciated. 💛
Our incredible teachers and staff were treated to a hearty lunch featuring loaded baked potatoes, fresh salad, and those legendary cinnamon butter rolls from Texas Roadhouse in Estero. Talk about southern hospitality! 🥔🍞
While a little bump in the dusty trail may have temporarily delayed our Soda Saloon stagecoach 🤠🥤, they’ll be ridin’ back into town very soon full of western charm and ready to treat our staff to all of their pre-ordered beverages!
After a week of traveling to destinations around the world, today was the perfect way to bring our journey home. We can’t thank our wonderful school families and community partners enough for the love, generosity, and support they’ve shown not only this week, but all year long. Your kindness continually reminds our staff just how appreciated they truly are. 🤎
Thank you for helping the PTO make this Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week such a memorable adventure for the TOE Team! 🌎 With grateful hearts & thanks bigger than the Wild West ❤️ Your PTO Team
