Our PTO treated our staff to an amazing luncheon today as part of staff appreciation week. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
They said it best....It takes hundreds of families and dozens of local businesses to make a PTO work and this year that is exactly what we were blessed with. Whether your student attended one event or ten, whether you contributed $5 or 5 hours, all of you allowed the PTO to say a sincere thank you to all staff at BIS today. Thank you BIS teachers and staff for a wonderful 2023-2024 school year and happy Teacher Appreciation week! And a little special thanks to the culinary department at WTHS for making all the food and the businesses and families on our last slide who are always willing to lend an extra hand.
