🎉 Happy Birthday to our Macy Franks! 🎉

Macy is definitely one of those people who works quietly behind the scenes, but y’all… we would be LOST without her! ❤️

She never needs the spotlight or recognition — she just shows up, jumps in, and helps wherever she’s needed. Whether she’s creating one of her AMAZING balloon arches 🎈, helping set up for an event, tackling a project, or lending a hand to somebody who needs it, Macy is always there.

She brings so much creativity, kindness, and dependability to our PTO and our school, and so much of what gets done wouldn’t happen without her.

The behind-the-scenes people don’t always get enough credit, so today we’re putting Macy FRONT AND CENTER! 🥳

We are so thankful for everything you do, Macy, and even more thankful to have you as part of our PTO family. We hope you have the happiest birthday and feel extra loved today! ❤️💛

Happy Birthday, Macy!! 🎂🎈🥳

One Last Shoutout for 3rd Grade!

We’ve spent this week getting to know our wonderful 3rd Grade teachers and sharing their classroom wish lists — but we couldn’t end the week without giving them one more round of love! ❤️

These teachers do so much more than teach lessons. They encourage, support, challenge, and cheer on our students every single day. They’re helping our 3rd graders grow into confident, independent learners, and we are so thankful for everything they pour into their classrooms.

So here’s our final 3rd Grade challenge:
Let’s see if we can check off a few more items from their Amazon wish lists before we move on to our next grade!

Whether it’s one small item or several, every purchase is a way to say “We see you, we appreciate you, and we’re behind you!” ❤️

Let’s finish 3rd Grade Week strong and show these amazing teachers just how much our school community supports them! 🙌🍎

Thank you, 3rd Grade, for all you do! ❤️

Weekly Grade Showcase: 3rd Grade Edition!

A new week means a new group of amazing teachers to celebrate — and this week, the spotlight is on 3rd Grade! ❤️

Third grade is such a BIG year! Our students are growing into more confident and independent learners, tackling new challenges, strengthening their reading and math skills, and discovering just how much they’re capable of. And right beside them through all of that growth are these incredible teachers.

This week, we’re doing our showcase a little differently! Each of our 3rd Grade teachers has shared their own classroom Amazon Wish List, so you’ll get a chance to meet them individually and see exactly what they’re wishing for in their classrooms.

If you’re able, pick a teacher, choose an item — big or small — and help us show our 3rd Grade team just how much our school community appreciates them!

Let’s see how many items we can check off those lists this week!

Happy 3rd Grade Week!

Wrapping Up 4th Grade Week!

Before we close out our 4th Grade Weekly Showcase, we want to give this amazing team one more round of love! ❤️

Our 4th Grade teachers spend every day helping their students become more confident, independent learners, encouraging them through challenges, celebrating their successes, and making their classrooms a place where they can grow and thrive.

Now it’s our turn to show THEM a little love!

Their Amazon Classroom Wish Lists are still open!

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1N6OB7XDZJ11K?ref_=wl_share

If you haven’t had a chance to take a look yet, there’s still time to grab an item and help us check a few more things off their lists!

Every purchase, big or small, is a way to remind our teachers that our school community sees them, appreciates them, and supports all they do. ❤️

Let’s finish out 4th Grade Week strong and spoil these wonderful teachers! 🙌🍎

✨ Next week, we’ll be shining the spotlight on 3rd Grade! ✨

THANK YOU!

We want to send a huge THANK YOU to all of our families who helped us Stock the Teacher’s Lounge!

Whether you sent in snacks or drinks, purchased something from our Amazon Wish List, or helped spread the word — every single contribution was appreciated! 🥰

Because of your generosity, we were able to fill the lounge with lots of goodies for our amazing teachers and staff to enjoy. We hope it serves as a little reminder of just how much we appreciate everything they do for our students each day! ✏️📚❤️

We are so thankful for a school community that continues to show up and support our teachers, staff, and students.

Thank you for helping us make Stock the Lounge a success! 🎉🍎

Weekly Grade Showcase: 4th Grade Edition!

It’s a new week, which means it’s time to show some love to another amazing group of teachers! ❤️

This week belongs to our 4th Grade Team!

Fourth grade is such an important year for our students. They’re becoming more independent, taking on new challenges, discovering what they’re capable of, and getting one step closer to becoming the “big kids” of the school!

And behind all of that growth? Some pretty incredible teachers. ❤️

Our 4th Grade teachers spend their days teaching, encouraging, supporting, and creating classrooms where our kids can learn and thrive — and this week, we’d love to give a little of that love back to THEM!

🛒 We’ve included their Amazon Classroom Wish Lists below. If you’re able, pick an item (or two 😉) and help us spoil our 4th Grade teachers and fill their classrooms with some of the things they’ve been wishing for!

Every item purchased — big or small — is one less thing a teacher has to provide themselves, and we would LOVE to see our community come together and help CLEAR THE LIST!

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1N6OB7XDZJ11K?ref_=wl_share

Let’s show our 4th Grade team just how appreciated they are!

🍎 Happy 4th Grade Week! 🍎
