The week started off strong with fabulously decorated doors, beautiful fresh flowers, and room service delivered with smiles to every member of our faculty and staff. Monday set the tone for an amazing week!

Tuesday, our Kindergarten classes helped us celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a delicious lunch from Cafe Rio. Wednesday brought amazing kolaches from The Kolache Place courtesy of the Hobbs family. Thursday was an absolute treat with dirty sodas and churros from Silver Moon Taqueria and the Petre family. And Friday wrapped up the week perfectly with breakfast from Eva's Bakery and what may just be the world’s best pastries!

Special thanks to Mari Petre and the entire H.S.A. crew for all of the love and hard work that went into this wonderful week, and an extra shoutout to Brittany Sheldon for leading such an incredible Teacher Appreciation Week!
