We wrapped up our Staff Appreciation Week with a SWEET surprise! Staff received a golden ticket with a time to meet their chauffeurs up front. Once up front, staff chose their best superlative, hopped in the party bus, sang carpool karaoke, and then was whisked off to Sweetwater Coffee and Sugar Blossoms to get a drink and a treat! WES the Eagle was even there to greet them. Our staff pours their heart and soul into our school and we wanted them to feel how truly special they are!

“No Taxation without Representation”…that’s what our 1st graders chanted as they threw the tea overboard. Students also experienced the “other” tea party, signed the Declaration of Independence, made Betsy Ross’s flag, and made George Washington puppets.
