    Teacher Appreciation Luncheons
    Held in December and May, on Early Release Days, these luncheons give us a chance to thank our wonderful faculty and staff with a bountiful luncheon.  This has always been a first-class event that gets almost 100% attendance.  Parents donate sandwiches, salads, soups, desserts, drinks, etc., and volunteers are needed to set up, serve food, and clean-up after.  Sign-up sheets for this will be passed around at monthly meetings, as well as via email.
