🌮✈️ Staff Appreciation Week – Day 5: Mexican Fiesta Finale! 🇲🇽🎉

We wrapped up our Around the World Staff Appreciation Week with a festive trip to Mexico! 🌵🌮

Our staff enjoyed a delicious fiesta-inspired lunch, lots of fun decorations, trivia, prizes, and one final chance to search for hidden ✈️ planes around the school! 🎊

This week was filled with amazing food, laughter, friendly competition, photo booth fun, snacks, and so many special moments celebrating the incredible people who make our school such a wonderful place each day. ❤️

From the Southern USA, to a European picnic, the Mediterranean coast, a Hawaiian luau, and finally our Mexican fiesta—we loved taking our staff on a trip around the world to show just how appreciated they truly are. 🌍✈️

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing staff for everything you do for our students, families, and school community. Your hard work, kindness, and dedication do not go unnoticed. 💛

And thank you to everyone who helped donate, organize, decorate, serve, and make this week possible!

Until next trip… adiós! 🌮🇲🇽🎉
