SPA PSO Information

Teacher Appreciation Sponsorships

Due to Covid-19, the look and feel of our Teacher Appreciation meals (breakfast/lunch) has changed. In the past, we have been able to provide home cooked food for our teachers on a monthly basis. Although this year is very different, we are still able to provide meals to our much appreciated teachers and staff. The SPA PSO is offering Prep families an opportunity to advertise their businesses in exchange for supporting our Teacher Appreciation Lunches. Or, individual families can support the meals. The funds will help support the purchase of “grab and go” food items for our teachers. Please support these monthly events with your sponsorship commitment today. Click here for the Sponsorship form.
