Teacher Appreciation Week 2023
Thanks to Amanda Smith and other PTK members, Herty teachers were blessed with a week’s worth of catering to and more food, treats, snacks and drinks that is imaginable. Special thanks to Quad Graphics for a wonderful luncheon from Roost. Also, appreciation goes out to TImber Creek Church for Chick Fil A and other monetary donations. Shout out to Mr. and Mrs. Freddie Keel and Mr. Joe for a delicious fried fish buffet with all the trimmings and a new supply of homemade pickles by Mrs. Glenda Keel. (If you haven’t had Glenda’s pickles, you’re missing out!) In addition to all of that, Lufkin High School Culinary Arts fixed us up with some yummy cookies and treats. Lastly, but most certainly not least, a huge thank you to Lufkin’s First Baptist Church for a breakfast buffet on Friday to kick off Field Day.
