National Teacher Appreciation Day is next week on May 5!
In recognition and appreciation for what all of the Thacher guides, administration and staff have been doing to help our children through this period of shelter-in-place, the Staff Appreciation Committee is sending out a
community-wide call for expressions of gratitude and appreciation!
Please text or email your messages to Vanessa Holroyd (UEB Parent)
anima.vanessa@gmail.com. Vanessa's husband, Dave, will be compiling all submissions into a digital album that will be sent to all staff next week.
Submission Deadline: Monday, May 4
For this project, please focus on general images of peace/thanks for the
whole staff community as opposed to individual people.
Suggestions
Submissions may be from students and adults in the form of:
- a drawn, painted or other medium picture/art
- take a landscape-oriented photo
- a written poem or letter of thanks
- take a landscape-oriented photo
- a phone video - 10 - 20 seconds or less shot horizontally
- song, instrument performance, spoken message of thanks, well-wishes (What you are excited for when you return to Thacher? What you love about Thacher).
Pro Tips
- Make sure your face is in good light, centered on-screen with a darker background, not "backlit".
- A shoulders/face shot or waist up is preferred and it keeps your phone close so the audio is good.
- If you can use a tripod or stand that shoots from a higher angle than eye level it will be more flattering to the eye (avoid upshots)
- Make the video horizontal so the video matches the widescreen like this (see image)
