Yesterday we took Ms. Derrien a farewell gift from the PTA. A personalized Yeti, balloons, a plant for her new office, and cake to share with all staff. There was one catch.. we told her she has to invite us to see her new office when she’s settled! ❤️

I’m not usually an overly emotional person, but there’s been a few times in the last year where students and staff have brought me to tears. Today? Today was one of them. There were dozens 🥺😭
