A very special thank you goes out to Texas Roadhouse, Metcalfe's Market, West Star Organics, Target, Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream Co., Bartaco, Fred Astaire Dance Studio, Madison School Foundation, and our amazing PFO for their generosity, support, and partnership in helping make the week so memorable for our staff.

We are incredibly grateful for a community that continues to show up for and support our educators!

¡La semana pasada tuvimos la oportunidad de celebrar a nuestros increíbles maestros durante toda la Semana de Agradecimiento a los Maestros! El almuerzo, el carrito de bocadillos, la estación de hidratación, los masajes en silla, la barra de frutos secos y botanas, las rifas y el desayuno fueron pequeños detalles para reconocer el enorme impacto que nuestro personal tiene todos los días.

Un agradecimiento muy especial para Texas Roadhouse, Metcalfe's Market, West Star Organics, Target, Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream, Bartaco, Fred Astaire Dance Studio, Madison School Foundation y a nuestro increíble PFO por su generosidad, apoyo y colaboración para ayudar a que esta semana fuera tan memorable para nuestro personal.
