Monday: Bring a Card and Dress Your Child in Pink for Ms. Wilkes

Pink_ribbon_gs

She’s the first person you see when you need forms or are signing your child in late:) She’s Ms. Wilkes, the front office administrative assistant, and after Monday she will be taking a leave of absence to receive treatment for cancer.  She’s beat cancer once, and we are rooting for a repeat performance!

So show your support for her fight and gratitude for all she does…

Monday – dress your child in pink (you can, too!) and bring her a card or small present from your family.  

Let’s show Ms. Wilkes that Peabody cares.
