Teacher Appreciation

The goal of the teacher appreciation is to help coordinate efforts within the classrooms to show our thanks for the hard work that the teachers do in helping our children. We ALWAYS appreciate more volunteers and ideas. Here are the key events planned for 2005-6.

Material Building Days - ongoing
Material Making Day
Our teachers spend a tremendous amount of time preparing for the work in the classroom. To assist them in this effort and free up more time for them to spend with the children, we are scheduling Material Making Days once a month to allow interested parents to help create the materials that are used in the classroom. Volunteers are welcome for any and all
sessions. If you have time, please come by and help.

Fridays 1-2:30 pm in the Yellow House
10/7/05
11/4/05
1/13/06
2/3/06
3/3/06
4/7/06

If those days do not work for you, you can always contact your child's teacher to offer your assistance.

Teacher Appreciation Week - May
May 6, 2006 is National Teacher Day, a time for honoring teachers and recognizing the lasting contributions they make to our lives. That first full week of May is designated Teacher Appreciation Week by the National PTA. Our committee plans to assist the parents in each classroom to organize events that will strengthen support and respect for our own fantastic teachers and the teaching profession in general.

Teacher Wish Lists - December
It's always tough to think of a really useful teacher gift for the holiday. The Teacher Appreciation group polled each teacher to see what Scrip certificates they might enjoy (say from Blockbuster, Macy's, restaurants, etc.). These lists were supplied to parents to help ease the holiday guesswork.
