New furniture for teacher’s lounge in NA
Roosevelt Avenue School in North Attleboro recently received some new furniture thanks to the school’s parent teacher organization and Cardi’s Furniture. In celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week last month, the PTO applied for a furniture donation from Cardi’s to update the school’s teacher lounge. Cardi’s agreed to donate two dining tables with seating for 12 and a matching buffet storage, which were delivered to the school free of charge May 9. “We got all our furniture donated without a hitch! It’s fantastic and so wonderful of them!” Ashleigh Elliot, a parent and member of the PTO, wrote in an email.
