🍧💙 That’s a wrap on September Snow Cones! 💙🍧

And what a way to finish out the month! Our crew today had SO much fun — lots of laughs, lots of snow cones, and lots of happy Panthers! 🐾

THIS is what being a PTA volunteer is all about. Showing up, pitching in, having fun together, and getting to do a little something special for our kids. 💙

We are so thankful for every volunteer who helped make our September Snow Cone Days happen, our wonderful Snow Cone Chair who keeps it all running, and an EXTRA big shout-out to Mr. Shane, our AMAZING custodian, who is always one step ahead and ready to help us with whatever we need. Seriously… what would we do without him?! 🙌

And Panthers — we heard SO MANY “thank yous” today! 🥹💙 We noticed, and we are SO proud of you!

Great manners, grateful hearts, and a whole lot of Panther pride. 🐾

Way to go, Panthers! See you for more Snow Cones in May! 🍧☀️

🍧💙 SNOW CONE DAYS! 💙🍧

A quick little note for our Panthers as we make the most of our snow cone days!

If a student doesn’t/can’t have Red 40, they can simply ask for blue syrup instead! 💙 They can also request a cup of shaved ice if they’d prefer.

Thanks for helping us be mindful, flexible, and make the most of what we have on hand! 🧊🍧
