Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation Week is Monday, March 23rd through Friday, March 27th!

Each class will have a chance during the week to create a letter and/or picture letting their teacher know how and why they are appreciated. PTA will provide the supplies for this activity, and will also be binding these letters into a book for our teachers.

If you would like to help give our teachers a boost on their school supplies, please have your child bring any generic school supply item to school any day between Monday, March 23rd & Friday, March 27th for their classroom “school supply gift bag”. If you would like to give your teacher a more personal gift, you are welcome to do so.

This is all optional, and we do not want to put any pressure on parents. Please feel free to give a simple “Thank you” to your child’s teacher as well. These are always welcome at anytime of the year!

Thank you for your support!

Here are a few important points to remember:
*Contest runs January 23rd - February 23rd
*Only out of school minutes count
*Parents can read to children and count the minutes
*Parents can read to multiple children that go the school and count all the minutes for each child
*Parents must sign student's reading slip for minutes to count

After school reading party is on Thursday, January 29th from 6-8 p.m.
Bring a your students and a cozy blanket to read at our school! PTA will be providing refreshments.
