Teacher snack reminder

Our teachers thank you for all of the great snack donations so far! They are especially grateful for covering a wide variety of dietary requirements (plant-based, nut-free, etc.). Please consider donating snacks if you haven’t already. If you prefer to order online for shipping, you can access each school’s amazon wish list:

Thank you for your help!
