🐔❤️ A BIG Yates PTA thank you to our newest Community Business Partner — Chicken Salad Chick

We are so excited to welcome Chicken Salad Chick of Williamsburg to our Yates PTA community partnership family!

During Back to School Night, their amazing team prepared a delicious meal to help fuel our teachers and staff during a very busy evening. 🍽️📚

Supporting our teachers and staff is such an important part of what we do, and having local businesses step up alongside us makes it even more special.

Chicken Salad Chick of Williamsburg, we appreciate your generosity, your kindness, and your support of our Yates family more than you know! ❤️

Please help us show them some Yates love and thank them for supporting the people who pour so much into our students every single day! ⚓️❤️💙
