After a year of challenging pandemic changes to learning at Aspen School District, local parents decided to “go big or go home” with a food truck roundup, gift card giveaway and other happenings for Teacher Appreciation Week, event organizer Alyssa Shenk said.
“It’s always important, right?” Shenk said while setting up for Wednesday’s food truck event. “But this year, it’s 1,000 times that. It’s important to give thanks in a big way.”
