Good Afternoon Meadowside,
Thank you to PTA for a great week. We feel so appreciated and completely spoiled. From the luggage tags to the tea and cookies, from the snack bags to the pizza truck and yogurt bar -- Wow what a fun trip across the week! Thank you so much too to our community sponsors who partnered with PTA: Silver Sands Pizza, the Greek Spot, Touch Nutrition and Icing on the Cake! And thank you to all our parents who donated through Amazon and helped write so many beautiful notes of appreciation as well as to our Meadowside Girl Scouts who gifted cookies to every single staff member!
