Looking forward to getting caught up with everyone.  

"The winning classroom teacher was 4th grade teacher, Miss Orr, 

her class donated 287 items. 

PPPS food drive for us, it was 1,516 pounds!"

A BIG thank you to everyone and their generous donations.  I'm sure these recent food donations were a HUGE help in lieu of 

everything that's been happening at this time.  

I've been thinking a lot about each one of you over Spring Break and I'm know you are safe and doing okay.  I'm looking forward to us being together again, but for right now we'll be doing things a little bit differently.  I should have more information and guidance on Monday.  

We've got this my friends!
