Teacher Appreciation Week
🎉 Teacher Appreciation Week is NEXT WEEK – May 5–9! 🍎
We’re so excited to celebrate our incredible Lower School staff with a week full of love, treats, and surprises. We couldn’t do it without YOU!
💛 A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has already donated — your generosity means the world! If you’re still looking to contribute, there are still a few items left and opportunities to volunteer on our Sign-Up Genius. Every little bit helps make this week extra special!
👉 Sign up here:
🗓️ Reminder: All donations need to be dropped off by THIS FRIDAY, May 2 (unless otherwise noted) so we can prep and purchase anything that’s still needed.
📍A drop-off table will be set up in the Lower School foyer all week for your convenience.
Here’s how else you can help:
💌 Notes of Appreciation Encourage your scholars to write or draw a note to any staff member! Balloon note templates with instructions will be sent home Monday or Tuesday.
📍Drop in the Hot Air Express Balloon in the foyer during the week of May 5–9.
🎁 Want to give a more personal gift? Many of our staff members have filled out “favorites” sheets and shared Amazon wishlists. If you’d like to surprise someone with something tailored just for them, this is a great way to do it!
👉 Favorites Sheet: here
Thank you for your support! Let’s make this a week to remember!
