“In true Sabin family style, we turned it into a pun and are giving their teachers the gift of flour. Thankfully, Happy Hour Scones turned the flour into delicious treats,” Sabin wrote on Facebook, showing off boxes beautifully decorated with paper flower stickers. “Both girls also included touching notes, as well, so it would be a bit more personal.”
She added that one of her children “pilfered our yard for actual flower bouquets.”
Hands down, the most asked for items were gift cards to everything from Target to “restaurants with a happy hour.”
“I always liked gift cards for Target and coffee or other treats,” said Megan Prince-Henke, a Polk County exceptional student education teacher. “I know lots of parents like sending lotions and candles, but I m sensitive to scents, so I gave a lot away.”
FINANCE
The Board accepted with gratitude a gift to Wilson Elementary School in the amount of $1,072 from the Wilson Elementary School Girl Scouts.

Mr. Auker and Mr. Vidal explained which systems already exist on the Cloud and which are stored locally for specific reasons. Ms. Ohlig noted that Mr. Auker said that his team will continue to explore and take advantage of moving additional systems to the Cloud when appropriate.
Princeton Perks - Buy your $25 card Before Feb 28th and Save through December 31 - Shop LOCAL
What is Princeton Perks?
It’s a new discount card fundraiser led by the Parent Teacher Organizations (PTOs) of Princeton s four public elementary schools: Community Park, Johnson Park, Littlebrook and Riverside.
How does it work?
Discount cards are available for purchase for $25 until February 28th, 2021. The cards give you a 10% discount at participating retailers and restaurants until December 31, 2021. Some restrictions and limitations may apply.
Why did we create this?
Our PTOs faced big funding gaps this year since we weren’t able to hold in-person events. At the same time, we saw businesses struggling and wanted to encourage people to shop local.
