WHE Jr. Beta had a wonderful time delivering goodie bags to our amazing PTO! This year, our PTO has gone above and beyond to support student events, encourage our school community, and spoil our teachers in so many thoughtful ways.
For their service project, Jr. Beta students chose to honor our PTO members as a small way to show appreciation for all of their hard work and dedication. We wanted them to know that their efforts do not go unnoticed and that the impact they make on our school is truly appreciated.
Thank you, PTO, for all you do for our students, staff, and school family! 💙
