McDade ISD -

Thank you so much to Chance Bishop with Funtime RV Rentals for helping us make Teacher Appreciation Week extra special for our staff! Our teachers enjoyed a wonderful one-hour break today to relax, unwind, and snack inside the RV. It was the perfect little getaway right here on campus, and such a great way to show appreciation for all they do each day.
A big thank you as well to the Teague family for lending us the generator to make everything run smoothly!
We are so grateful for the kindness and generosity that helped make our teachers feel celebrated and truly appreciated
