Teacher Appreciation
Nothing says Thanksgiving more than the gift of a delicious pie! Every year, we like to show our thanks and appreciation to our wonderful teachers and staff by providing pies to enjoy with their families over the holiday.
This year, due to COVID restrictions, we cannot have homemade pies coming to school or parents coming by to drop them off. We have partnered with Bluegrass Baking Co., a SCAPA alumna family-owned business, to provide the pies at discounted prices. A big thank you to Jim Betts, owner and baker, for supporting SCAPA!
Our goal is to purchase pies for all 63 teachers and staff and we would greatly appreciate your help. We are asking parents for $20 donations to help us continue gifting every SCAPA BG and LHS teacher and staff with a pie.
The Teachers and staff will be provided with their pie of choice: pumpkin, pecan, or apple. Pies will be delivered to SCAPA and ready for pick-up on Monday, November 23rd.
If you would like to sign up to purchase a pie or two, CLICK HERE TO DONATE.
