Its’s been a wonderful week of celebrations! Starting with Teacher Appreciation Week, students, staff and families participating in many activities to celebrate the work and dedication of our amazing Ardmore educators.  Throughout the week, we acknowledge the years of commitment and fun facts about our teachers.  Students loved learning a little bit of each teacher and were so amazed by the years they have dedicated to our community.  Thank you to everyone that contributed this week to show our appreciation.  We are most thankful of our PTSA, who provided our educators with many treats, a luncheon, lattes and more!!! On behalf our school, we thank you PTSA!!!

Us, principals, also received some very special tokens of appreciation from students.  May 1^st was principal appreciation day and our students may Ms. Lo, Assistant Principal and I feel extremely loved.  Thank you!

Lastly, today we celebrate our School Lunch Heroes. We share our appreciation for all the waork they do on Friday, May 6, during School Lunch Hero Day. School nutrition employees must balance many roles and follow numerous federal, state and local regulations to ensure safe and healthy meals are available in schools. We are so grateful for Ms. Har and Ms. Maria for their extraordinary work and care!

Our school benefits greatly from the contributions of our PTSA! Without officers in place, we can’t continue PTSA and we lose many of the benefits our school receives for our students.  This includes Learning Materials, Learning Field Trips, Learning Activities, Grants for Teachers, Books, Supplies, Coordination of Families Events and much, much more! Please sign up, the commitment is short term, but the investment is invaluable!!!

Thank you!!!
