PTA Support in Action: Snacks & Welcome Back/ Apoyo de la PTA (Asociación de Padres y Maestros) en acción: Fondo de Snacks y Bienvenida de Regreso

Spanish translation below. Hello All: This is a note of appreciation! Thank you to everyone who has supported the PTA and school recently! 1. Snacks! PTA delivered $1,300 worth of snacks to the school on April 19th. Clare, Ana and other staff were so excited to receive these (though snacks are now filling up their lounge - see picture). We will see how long they last, and may need to come back to families for another ask down the road. 2. Teacher appreciation! This is going back a ways now, but wanted to share how much teachers and staff loved the welcome back efforts the week after the strike. They received little bags of foot soaks salts, notes from families, a yogurt parfait breakfast and Afro Deli lunch. Here are a few pictures of the meals PTA set up in the lounge. Thank you to PTA volunteers who made these happen! 3. Welcome back to the kids and teachers! There are a couple of wonderful welcome back signs families made that are still handing inside the school. For those who didn
