Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week begins Monday, May 12th! 

We have a lot of fun things planned each day to recognize the hard work and devotion of our amazing teachers and staff.

We’ll be sending out reminders during the week about how you can help — whether it’s bringing in flowers or chocolate, donating a few dollars to provide lunch to staff, or signing up for the parent work party.

You can also take a look at the Sign Up Genius links below to see how you can show our teachers and staff the appreciation they deserve!

Sign up at http://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080E49A9AD29A46-help – several tasks will take 30 minutes or less of your time. If you don’t have time for these tasks, see below for other easy ways to express your appreciation.

Here’s what we have planned for teachers and staff next week:

Mon 5/12:  Coffee and Treat Trolley

Tue 5/13:  Flower Bouquets and Love Notes

Bring in flowers at drop off on 5/13 – cut from your garden, or pick up from the store, no need to go to the flower shop, volunteers will make assemble a bouquet for each teacher and staff member.  Accepted at drop off on 5/13 only.

We also looking for parents who can stick around after drop-off on May 13th to assemble the bouquets.

Wed 5/14:  Parent Work Party 3-5 pm
