STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK IS NEXT WEEK, May 3-7 !!!
Dear Torrey Hill Intermediate School Families,
The staff at Torrey Hill have gone above and beyond by providing an unbelievable learning environment, and in several different formats, for your children!
The first week of May is "Staff Appreciation Week." Please help me in honoring ALL of the wonderful staff who work tirelessly for the students. Below you will find a link to our Torrey Hill Staff featuring 47 individuals who work together as a TEAM. Perhaps you might honor them with a special note or email. Perhaps you'd like to encourage your youngster to make a homemade gift. Perhaps you have other grandiose ideas you'd like to share. Please do! We've made it easy for you by providing the staff roster and idea links below.
Our PTO, Board of Education and Administration will be treating our staff in different ways, as well. Thank you for making this year so special!
(Not listed on staff link are: K. Larson (4th grade), B. Stranahan (5th grade), A. Everhart (Kid's Klub) and A. Sharp (PM custodian)
