🦃THANKFUL TREATS FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF NOVEMBER 20-22🦃
Join us this year as we provide treats for our teachers and staff to enjoy with their families over the holidays! You can drop off STORE BOUGHT baked goods in the car rider line and to the front desk starting Wednesday, November 20th-Friday, November 22nd. All donations must be dropped off by 9am Friday morning. Our goal is to send each teacher and staff member home with a treat which means we need 122 donations. Teachers and staff will be given the opportunity to choose a treat to take home on Friday, November 22nd to enjoy with their families!
REMEMBER-we are looking for STORE BOUGHT, SWEET TREATS for our teachers and staff to take home to be enjoyed with their families over the break. No actual turkeys or homemade desserts are needed! Think cookies, pies, cupcakes, sweet breads-anything sweet that you would want to eat for dessert at your Thanksgiving table! Local businesses that offer some yummy options include: Ingles, Publix, Blue Rooster, The Baking Grounds, Crumbl Cookies, and Kroger.
On Friday afternoon, all teachers and staff will have the opportunity to come browse the delicious treats and select an item to take home to share with their families as a way of showing our appreciation for ALL of the time and energy they put into making our learning environment the WONDERFUL place it is!

We're grateful for the community we have at PMES to be able to support our teachers, staff and students this way. We truly believe PMES is a special place and it wouldn't be the same without all of you!
