🌮 Tacos for our amazing teachers & staff! 🌮

What better way to wrap up the first full week of school than with tacos from Taqueria Santoyo? 🎉

Shields PTA was happy to provide lunch as a small way to say THANK YOU to our incredible teachers and staff for all the energy, care, and hard work they’ve already poured into our students this year.

We hope everyone enjoyed a well-deserved taco break! ❤️🤍

Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead! 🦅
