Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4–8, and it’s the perfect time to show our incredible teachers just how much they mean to us! Their dedication, passion, and daily hard work truly make a difference in our students’ lives.
Administration and SGA have planned a week full of special activities to celebrate them, and the PAC would love your help in making it even more meaningful. We are trying to get a head start on our goal to provide each teacher with a $25 gift card to a local business as a small token of our gratitude.
If you’re able, please consider purchasing a gift card of your choice for $25 and sending it in with your student to Ms. Day in the office by April 17. Every contribution helps us show our teachers how appreciated they truly are—thank you for supporting them!
