Owner of @pizzainnpickens Mrs. Kim Acker stopped by to reward our newest teacher of the month, Mrs. Carly Bruner! Mrs. Bruner had the most parent votes and is one of our 5th grade teachers at West End. She is always busy planning fun things and new experiences for our 5th graders like the recent overnight field trip to Myrtle Beach. Thank you, Pizza Inn, for the teacher supply basket, coupons, and recognizing our super teachers all year! We appreciate your partnership! 🍕 🍎
