❤️🖤💛 At Peter G. Appling, we NEVER forget to celebrate and appreciate the phenomenal faculty who make the magic happen every single day! 💛🖤❤️

🍚✨ It’s National Rice Krispies Treat Day, so of course we had to add a little PIZZAZZ—Mrs. Sanders style! 😍🎉 Because around here, even a simple Rice Krispies Treat gets the Raider treatment! ❤️🖤💛

Sometimes it’s the little things that bring the biggest smiles. 😊 Our faculty works hard, loves our scholars, and continues to execute with excellence—so whenever we get a chance to show them some love, WE DO! 🫶🏾👏🏾

Just a little snap, crackle, pop of appreciation for our amazing Appling family! 😂🥰
