Dear Parents,

We wanted to take a moment to extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for making Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week truly memorable. Your outpouring of support, kind words, and thoughtful gestures meant so much to our dedicated teachers and staff.

Seeing the smiles on their faces as they received your tokens of appreciation, notes of encouragement, acts of kindness, and yummy treats has been truly heartwarming. Your unwavering support not only acknowledges their hard work and dedication but also serves as a powerful reminder of the incredible community we have here at Pride Elementary.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week a time filled with warmth, appreciation, and gratitude. Together, we are shaping the future and nurturing a community where every individual feels valued and supported.

With sincere appreciation,

Mrs. English & Mrs. Moncrief
