🩶🤍 Teacher Appreciation Week is almost over, and we’ve had so much fun celebrating our incredible teachers and staff at POP!

This week, we were able to treat our teachers to breakfast, lunch, duty-free lunch coverage, snacks, and a special Prince of Peace sweatshirt as a small token of our appreciation.

To our teachers and staff — we are so incredibly grateful for you.
⭐️You truly are the best of the best. ⭐️
Thank you for everything you do each and every day to love, guide, encourage, and care for our children. The love you pour into our school community does not go unnoticed, and we are filled with gratitude for each and every one of you! 🤍🩶

🩶 What a beautiful celebration! 🩶
This past Sunday, our POP community gathered for a special student-led Mass honoring our incredible teachers and staff.

The Mass, led by Father Ray, included a special blessing for our teachers and staff. Students also served as greeters, ushers, gift-bearers, and readers, alongside our wonderful school choir.

It was a truly prayerful and joy-filled way to begin Teacher Appreciation Week, as our school and parish community came together in gratitude for the faculty and staff who give so much love, care, and dedication to our children each day.

A heartfelt thank you to all who joined us and helped make this celebration so special. We are so grateful for our amazing POP teachers and staff! 🩶
