Teacher Treats

Spread the love

The Teacher Treats Committee is responsible for organizing an appreciation breakfast for the teachers and staff six times per school year. The main focus of the committee is to organize a menu, solicit volunteers from each class to provide various breakfast items, purchase additional breakfast items that might be needed, set-up, and clean-up the breakfast. Teacher Treats is normally held on the first Friday of the month.
