A message from our Parent Teacher Organization:
Teacher Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation Week is May 2-May 6. This year, rather than orchestrating how families show thanks with schedules and specific tasks, we ask our families to show appreciation in their own individual way. There are so many creative ways to say thank you to your teacher. Here are a few ideas…
- A homemade card, hand drawn picture, or a letter
- Flowers from your garden
- Offer to bring their favorite coffee drink or snack
- A video message from your kiddo
