On Wednesday we celebrated our AMAZING Substitute Teachers with a special celebration just for them!! We certainly could not function without them and are truly appreciative of them in every way!

During the celebration, each substitute spoke about their experiences within the classrooms this year and even gave advice to other subs. It was a delightful time and many laughs were shared...and maybe even some happy tears! :) Complete with "sub" sandwiches and other goodies along with some door prizes, it was truly a great party!!

Thank you again to our wonderful substitutes!!! We hope you have a great summer! YOU DESERVE IT!!!
