From the HSA Staff Appreciation Team
As you may know, the final weeks of the school year typically include Teacher Appreciation Week. To celebrate our awesome staff at XMS, the HSA Staff Appreciation Team has a week of small gestures of appreciation planned, including notes from students, candy tokens, breakfast, and a choice of gift cards.
To make this happen, we need your help. We will be having a gift card drive to collect $10 gift cards for our staff. Please feel free to drop any $10 gift card into an envelope and bring to the office. Any $10 gift card is appreciated, but if you need an idea, Target, Starbucks, and Jersey Bagel are all available as $10 cards through the school scrip program. Other fun summertime ideas are Kohl’s, Scheel’s, and local restaurants and businesses.
The cards will be arranged into a “bouquet” for the staff, and each member will be able to choose one.
Any gift cards should be sent to the school office by April 19th. Thank you!
