Teacher Appreciation Week
Hello JME Community! As we find ourselves in the home stretch of the school year, we want to take time during the week of May 2nd - 6th to celebrate all the fantastic people who make your student’s education possible, both inside and outside of the classroom. After an incredibly challenging few years, we hope you will join the JME PTA in acknowledging the hardwork and dedication of all our teachers and school staff. From your classroom teacher, to the cafeteria staff and everyone in between, it is truly a community effort to strive for the success of each of our students. We hope you can find some time to share your gratitude and celebrate the contributions of those who make our school great! We also hope you consider donating to a Teacher & Staff breakfast bar! Sign up information can be found here. Here are a few ways with corresponding days that we invite you to appreciate our teachers and staff! Monday, May 2nd, A Note You Wrote: A few simple words of gratitude can go a long way! Take some time to write a handwritten note to tell your teacher or special staff member how much you appreciate them! Tuesday, May 3rd, Thank You For Helping Me Grow: We’ve all grown a bit since last fall so bring in a plant or flower that helps recognize those who have helped you grow! Wednesday, May 4th, Revitalize & Resupply: We sure have gone through a lot of supplies this year so bring in a classroom school supply to make sure your teacher is set up for success next year! Thursday, May 5th, Art from the Heart: When words or a gift won’t do, sometimes creative expression can help us tell someone how much we appreciate them! Friday, May 6th, Gift of Gratitude: If you think there is another way that you’d still like to acknowledge your teacher or favorite staff member, this is the day to do it! Please note these are all suggestions and participation is optional, you are welcome to celebrate your teacher and staff members any way that you like. Here is a helpful schedule of appreciation days for you to print, save or screen grab! Here are a few helpful downloads that you can print at home! The JME PTA will also be making various stationary and hard copies of the above printouts available for you to pick up in the office, at your convenience so you can help celebrate! If you have any questions, please contact the JME PTA at jmepta@gmail.com Don’t forget to sign up for Teacher & Staff Appreciation Breakfast Bar!
