Message from Home and School Regarding Staff Appreciation Week
We are excited to celebrate Jamison Elementary School’s teachers, staff and administration during staff appreciation week which begins on May 3. In the past, we have asked students to write a letter or draw a picture reflecting his/her gratitude. Due to current Covid restrictions and the PSSA testing window, we are doing things a little bit differently this year.
The HSA is challenging every family to send at least one email to a staff member letting him/her know how appreciative you are; of course, you are welcome to send as many as you want. The email can be sent by a parent, student, entire family, or every person in the family can send one. Feel free to get creative - write a note, draw a picture, film a video, make a PowerPoint.
Emails should be sent during the week of May 3, but no later than May 7. Please send your email directly to the staff person you are trying to reach. If you wish to send a message to the entire staff, please send it to lbradley@cbsd.org with the subject “Teacher Appreciation Email”.
Thank you for all of your support in keeping this awesome tradition going!
