TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK-

NEXT WEEK is Teacher Appreciation Week  . . We need YOUR Help to remind our Staff they are "FIRST CLASS!" This year we will be treating our first class staff to something special each day the week of May 6-10th such as snacks, breakfast, lunch, sweet treats and more!

We would really appreciate your support in helping some of these fun activities happen for the teachers. Sign up to help here:

Don't forget how much teachers love a good thank you note or drawing telling them how awesome and hard working they are each day!

 LAST CALL FOR DONATIONS for TEACHER APPRECIATION GIFTS - THIS Friday May 4th is the deadline to donate  and then we will put gifts together for delivery on Friday May 10th. 

This will be a school wide collection from families to purchase gift cards for all members of our staff (teachers, administrators, specialists, etc) We are so grateful for any generosity towards showing our staff how much they are appreciated (and making the shopping easier on you!)

**Cash can be sent in an envelope with Julie Forrest - TAW (teacher appreciation week) on the front and turned into the HS or K-8 office.
