Teacher appreciation = BIG SUCCESS

Thanks so much Crocker Families for making our teachers feel so very special today - the savory breads, sweet breads, muffins, scones, jams, fruit salad, and delectable cake were all very much appreciated.  I will wash all of the dishes and bring them back to Crocker on Monday.  THANKS FOR CREATING A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT AT OUR SCHOOL!
