Teacher Appreciation Week
This year’s theme is “Teachers Deliver.” And they do! Teachers deliver so much to our students—inspiration, motivation and, ultimately, their futures. We would like to celebrate teachers and deliver our thanks and gratitude to them. Teachers change the lives of millions of children every day, and their work and impact extends far beyond the boundaries of the classroom. Join us during PTSA Teacher Appreciation Week to #ThankATeacher for all that they deliver to our nation’s children.
How You Can #ThankATeacher
Take the time to show your appreciation this week. To help you thank the teachers in your lives for delivering so much.
- Have your child sign and present thank-you cards to their teachers!
- Share photos and your activities during the week by using the hashtag #ThankATeacher on social media!
- On Thursday, upload a #TBT of you and your favorite teacher and thank them using the official hashtag #ThankATeacher.
Cafeteria Worker Appreciation Week
Between preparing healthy meals for Washington students, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, school nutrition professionals are true heroes.
On Friday, May 5, 2017, we will end School Nutrition Employee Week (May 1-5) with a bang, when we celebrate School Lunch Hero Day! School Lunch Hero Day is a chance to showcase the difference school nutrition professionals make for every child who comes through the cafeteria.
School Lunch Hero Day provides you with the perfect opportunity to recognize the hardworking professionals in your school cafeterias.
