Happy Behavioral Interventionist Day!
Our students and staff are so lucky to have Mr. B and Mrs. Pletz! These two go above and beyond each day for our students. They are caring, fun, a smile in the morning, a wave goodbye in the afternoon, someone our kids can count on to show up for them and to always support them.
The PTO presented them today with gift cards to spoil themselves!
Thank you again Mr.B and Mrs.Pletz
