Notes from Teacher Appreciation Week:
Ideas were thrown out about possibly doing it a different week than other schools, reaching out to local businesses for donations, collecting one fund to then be used by PTF to provide all of the Teacher appreciation gifts and activities for the week, bring in containers to box up leftovers at the lunch, creating sign ups earlier.
Car wash went well but we need to plan for the cost (about 1200 dollars). Raised about two thirds and had a donation made to cover the rest.
Next PTF Meeting will be August 21, 2025.
