PTA Teacher Appreciation Week- March 4th-March 8th
We want to thank our teachers for being the best in the World! During the week, join us in celebrating your teacher through the following themed days. You can choose to participate in one day or all of them. Have fun!
Monday, March 4: EXPLORE your feelings: Give your teacher something that lets them know how much you appreciate them--cards! Make a card, buy a card, or simply be on your best behavior today!
Tuesday, March 5: Help your teacher EXPLORE their senses: Bring in scented lotions, candles, soaps or even a pretty flower.
Wednesday, March 6: Give your teacher a taste of the WORLD: Does your teacher like something salty or sweet? Coffee or tea? Bring in their favorite treat to eat or a gift card to their favorite restaurant.
Thursday, March 7: Make your classroom the best in the WORLD: Help make your classroom a more peaceful place. Be a good listener. Bring in any supplies that could help your teacher.
Friday, March 8: Help your teacher be their own EXPLORER: Bring in a card to your teacher’s favorite store.
