Teacher Appreciation Week is May 7 – 11. Let’s all say a big thank you to the people who work so hard ensuring that our kids have a better future! Monday – Bring a flower. Our teachers will have a beautiful bouquet on their desk for the week to serve as a reminder how much they mean to us! For a guy teacher, maybe a snack would be nice. PTO will be providing coffee and bagels to the teachers in the morning. Tuesday – PTO will be serving lunch to the teachers and staff. Wednesday - Draw a picture; write a letter, thank you card, poem or any other homemade way to let your teachers know how important they are. Write about a favorite field trip or memory. PTO will provide sweet treats for the teachers. Thursday – Chips/Dips and Salty Snacks provided by PTO Friday – "Spoil teachers" day! Send in a small, personal gift or go together for a class gift. PTO has some other surprises for teachers. Your Home Room Mom may be in touch with you for a class idea. Don’t forget the other teachers and staff that work with your children. (music, phy.ed., art, the nurse, the librarian, office staff, paraprofessionals, etc.) Even a small gift or handwritten note can put a smile on someone’s face.  Below is a list teachers/staff favorite’s. You can use this as a guide or go on your own. 1 Thank them for all they do!
