Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the end of another amazing school year yesterday at our annual Backyard Bash! We were so lucky that the rain cleared out just in time for us all to be outside 🌞
Extra special thanks go out to Mr. Morcone and our fantastic outgoing PTA president Steve, who were generous enough to volunteer to get soaked in the dunking booth. Steve also brought along his bubble setup to give the kids a popping good time, and we truly don't know what we will do without him next year!
As a PTA, we are always looking to create bigger and better experiences for our Big Cross students, and we would love for more parents and community members to get in on the fun! Please consider joining the PTA or supporting us with a donation using the link below to ensure that we can continue having fun for years to come.
We hope you all have an amazing summer and make sure you keep an eye out for news about our Ice Cream Social August 🍦

It's one of our favorite weeks of the year here at the Big Cross Street School PTA when we get to celebrate our absolutely amazing Big Cross teachers!
We started off Teacher Appreciation week with some coffee and munchkins to help get this Monday off to a sweet start!
We can't wait to show our teachers how much we care about them this week, and it's all made possible thanks to the generous donations from our community all year long!
