Support for Teacher Appreciation Week
Please help us assure a fun, successful event for our well-deserving faculty and staff.
- Donate gift cards for merchandise or services and new items that may be raffled off to teachers. We are collecting items until Wednesday, May 13th. Donations may be sent in your child's folder in an envelope marked with "PTA" or placed on the PTA mailbox in the school office.
- With your help, we will fill the teachers' lounge with homemade cookies, cakes, pies, and all things sweet on Tuesday, May 12th and Thursday, May 14th. No need to sign up anywhere; just drop off items by 10:00 AM those days.
- Use the template or get more creative and have your children send in letters and artwork thanking their teachers and staff. Place them in an envelope marked with "PTA" so that we can post them on teachers' doors and bulletin boards. We are collecting items until Wednesday, May 13th.
