As I am preparing for Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week (May 1st-5th) I wanted to reach out for some help. I will sending home a flyer for simple ideas of how students and families can celebrate in your own ways that week as we get closer to that week.

However as I start to prep on my end I am asking for GIFT CARD DONATIONS. I will be celebrating these selfless, hard working, dedicated, caring, kind, and resilient staff through various avenues during their special week.

One way I will celebrate is by having little games and surprise give aways... it would be way more fun if they could enjoy the games and have a sweet little prize for winning other than bragging rights and post-its or pens haha!

If you are able and willing please send a gift card in the amt of $5.00 - $20.00 to the office.

Gift card ideas:

• Restaurants
• Gas Stations
• Amazon
• Target
• Walmart
• Spa (Salon, Manicure, Pedicure, Massage)
• Grocery Store
• Book Stores
• Movie Theaters
• Coffee Shops

Thank you for helping to make this years Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week a success! Your help and support is greatly appreciated.

• 4/24 PTO Meeting
