A huge THANK YOU to all of our “Grown Ups” who braved the rain and joined us for 3rd annual Donuts with Grown Ups yesterday! 🍩☔️

We loved seeing everyone and watching our students enjoy some special time with the important grown-ups in their lives. ❤️

Thank you for making the morning so sweet! We appreciate you all! 🥰🍩

Drop you pics in the comments!

Tomorrow is Donuts with Grownups from 8-8:45a. The plan is to have the event on the playground, but if it is raining we will move it to the gym. The book fair will also be open for anyone who wants to shop one last time before it closes in the afternoon.

We hope to see everyone there!

☕️💕 Cup of Appreciation Day! 💕☕️

Today, we’re pouring out a little extra appreciation for our amazing teachers and staff! 🌸

In honor of Dolly Parton, we’re celebrating with a soda bar to get that end of the week caffeine fix, kindness, and a whole lot of love. Because just like Dolly reminds us, it’s the little things that can make a BIG difference! ✨

Thank you to our teachers and staff for all you do each and every day for our students. We hope this little cup of appreciation brightens your day! ☕️💗

9 to 5 and beyond, you’re the BEST! 🎀

Happy Friday!
