If your student is one of the Teacher of the Day winners for Auction 2017 - it's time for them to RULE THE SCHOOL!
Plan on arriving on Monday, June 5th, at 7:30AM in your best professional attire.
The day will start in the downstairs staff lounge where you may enjoy donuts while mom and dad take pictures.
From there, you'll be off to your new job. What will your day bring? Only your teacher or administrator knows but you can bet it will be a lot of fun.
After a hard morning's work, you'll enjoy lunch (bring your own lunch) and then you'll be free to rejoin your class for afternoon electives and activities.
We are looking forward to seeing you all on your day as Big Man (or Woman) on Campus! See you then.
