Teacher Appreciation 2024
Our annual week-long celebration of our teachers is coming on May 6. It is a time when the Board, administrators, and families recognize our teachers for the hard work that they do each day.
We have a wonderful tradition of families posting notes of appreciation outside the classroom for each teacher in the room. Whether handmade or not, a bulletin board filled with colorful cards shows a lot of love!
Please consider writing thank you notes for the Flex Teachers. Without them, our teachers wouldn't have necessary planning time, we would be short-staffed on breaks or sick-days, and the center would generally not operate as smoothly. They flex their skills throughout all of the age groups and we are celebrating them on a bulletin board in the Small Gym (Spruce). Our flex teachers are: Sushma Akepati, John Beck, Deniz Cakir, Johnetta Hurley, Rob Wiest, Paul Graff, Faith Tucker, Meghan Fraatz, Courtney Robinson, Zoe Jasper, Ben Wasman.
Families are also asked to contribute to a Sweet and Savory Buffet for the teachers on Wednesday of that week from 1 - 3 pm in the Small Gym offering teachers a light bite to get through the afternoon.
- Bring in a finger food or sweet treat ready to serve
- Drop food in the Small Gym (Spruce)
A special activity is planned for each day of the week. This year the schedule is as follows:
- Monday - bulletin boards decorated with appreciation cards (from families).
- Tuesday – Appreciation Brunch (from PIC administrators)
- Wednesday – Sweet and Savory Buffet (from families) 1-3 pm
- Thursday - Board-sponsored Lunch
- Friday - Raffle
