Student Council hosted a Pie Day for Trey at the end of the school day today!
Staff and students raised money and entered their names into buckets for the staff member they wanted to see get “pied.” During the event, two student names were drawn for each participating staff member, and those students had the honor of delivering the pies! Each staff member took two pies to the face, making for plenty of laughs and a great way to end the day. It was a fun way for our school community to come together, share some smiles, and support one of our own. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the event such a success!
