First TEACHER TREATS TUESDAY Coming Up! On the second Tuesday of each month, SBA families share their appreciation for the school’s faculty and staff by sending in delicious snacks of all kinds. It’s called “Teacher Treats” and the first date is next Tuesday, September 11. You can help make Teacher Treats a success by volunteering to contribute a snack or help with set-up and take-down. But do let the coordinators know that you plan to help out by visiting the Teacher Treats Signup Genius page and adding your name to the list of helpers.
