Plano West Rotary has a long track record of supporting our teachers at Barron Elementary and the support goes both ways!! Barron teachers have had their Friday Night volunteering at our annual Plano Balloon Festival Funnel Cakes booth, which provides the majority of our club funding for donations. We would not be successful without their support! They have also allowed us to have an annual lunch meeting at their school, where the kiddos run the program and give us a tour of the school. They are great kids who are being led and taught by great teachers!
This event was a chance for us to give them our love and support during a COVID year where we did not have our last funnel cake fundraiser or annual school visit, not to mention the Color Run and Field Day events we have also helped out with - we haven't seen our friends....until this! Due to social distancing, we didn't get to give or receive hugs, but a couple of us got to see and serve our favorite teachers, providing a Taco Cabana breakfast taco breakfast (100 tacos) for 70 teachers and staff, along with 72 orange and apple juices.
We give them our love, and hope we have encouraged them through another tough week, teaching in-person! Barron Elementary has the highest percentage of in-person students in Plano ISD at 75%, so our kids and teachers are doing their best to teach & learn during these tough times. Thank you, Barron Elementary, and hang in there!!
