Teacher & Staff Appreciation - Flower Day (Wednesday, May 8th, 2019)
Let’s show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate them by bringing a flower from home or buying a flower at school and helping to build unique class bouquet.
Flowers will be on sale the morning of Wednesday, May 8th in front of school beginning at 7:15 AM. Price of each flower will range from $1 to $3 depending on the variety. Flowers are fresh from the growers!
Please support this 13-year tradition at Miramar Ranch. No child is turned away no matter what. The goal is one flower per child to make a class bouquet – please do not bring bunches of flowers, as it makes it difficult for room parents to arrange in vases.
