Sincerely,

Teacher Appreciation Week
Aloha! Teacher Appreciation Week is
May 7-11
! The theme this year is "Hawaiian Luau".
The WCA PTO is planning to spoil our wonderful teachers and staff each day of the week with festive decorations, tropical smoothies, treats, gifts and a Hawaiian food truck! It is sure to
be a "Tiki-riffic" week for the teachers and staff.
On Thursday,
May 10 at 1:45pm, there will be a School Assembly featuring Polynesian dancers and hula lessons!
This will also be a tropical attire dress down day for everyone (school appropriate of course).
P
lease remember to recognize and appreciate your child's teacher this week. Your child could draw a picture, write a poem, thank you card, or letter for their teacher. A small gift, coffee, flower, treats or a gift card are just a few ideas. Let's show our "WCA Ohana" (family) how much we love them and appreciate everything they do all year!
