TEACHER APPRECIATION COMMITTEE
The wonderful Teacher Appreciation Committee takes care of ensuring that the teachers know that they are appreciated throughout the year!
Some of the events that are managed by this committee:
- Holiday Breakfast: A scrumptious buffet breakfast for the teachers and staff. Pictures below.
- Teacher Cookie Swap: The committee coordinated donations of cookies that the teachers could select from to take home!
- Teacher Appreciation Donation Drive: Parents get a chance to make monetary donations to the PTO for a specific teacher fund, that is awarded to the teacher for use in their classroom!
- Teacher Appreciation Week: A week long appreciation event, that consists of coffee, breakfasts, snacks, goodies, taco bar.. and so much more!
- Staff meetings: Through the year, the committee also coordinate donations for snacks for the hard workings staff meetings.
Teachers Holiday Breakfast was a huge success, and much appreciated by the teachers and staff!
