Our SCA likes to create a welcome back song and dance for all of our staff members here at Ocean Lakes. We do it because we feel it’s important to show our appreciation for them and all of the hard work they put in, and to set the tone for welcoming them back. It’s all about appreciation for us, so any way, large or small, that we can show appreciation to our staff - whether that be through our welcome back teacher breakfast or through different events throughout the year - we like to appreciate our staff.
