"The world wants you to be typical — in a thousand ways, it pulls at you. Don't let it happen. You have to pay a price for your distinctiveness, and it's worth it."
- Jeff Bezos in his final letter to shareholders as CEO

Teacher Appreciation Week
May 3rd - 7th
|
National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 3-7, and with all that has been going on, our school is making a special effort this year to involve the community in helping us express appreciation for our teachers and staff.
During that week, our administration is doing a Teacher Appreciation Week Game Show with prizes and treats each day. We specifically thought of you because any sort of donation would be wonderful to add to our prizes. Some ideas include (depending on your business): gift cards, oil change, haircut or nails, flowers, golf, coffee, snacks or treats, etc.
We would obviously credit you with an acknowledgment through our family email contacts and social media. As you know, teachers are loyal, love freebies, and never forget the businesses that help out! If something like that is possible, I'll be happy to help coordinate with you.
