Teacher Appreciation
Hey Parents! Let's show our appreciation!😌

Next week, May 4th - 8th, is teacher appreciation week! 🥳

We are so thankful for the dedication and support our teachers have shown all year long. They gave our pioneers immense support and invaluable learning through out this year.❤️

Help us celebrate them and their dedication! We have many fun things planned for our teachers but would love to stock their lunch room with goodies! 😋

👉Drop off non perishable snacks and drinks now until teacher appreciation week! (Think cookies, chips, soda, granola bars, etc)
There will be a box at the front office where you or your pioneer can donate these items.

🤔Want to help further? Our teachers are enjoying a special lunch provided by the school and you can drop off the dessert for after! 🍰
Drop off desserts Friday afternoon (May 1st) or Monday morning (May 4th).

We love Barron as not only a school, but community. We hope you can help us celebrate our teachers who help fuel this awesome community.
