Blue Valley North Students Stock the Teachers' Break Room
Student Heart Teachers celebrated American Education Week with our 'Stock the Teachers' Break Room' event. We fundraised over $500 from our community to purchase coffee pods, drinks, fruit, popcorn, cheese sticks, cookies, candy, and chips to stock the Blue Valley North teachers' lounge.
