Teacher Appreciation Week
May 3rd - 7th
It is that time of year again! Teacher Appreciation Week is May 3rd - 7th this year and we are already thinking of ways to let our staff know that they are loved and appreciated. They have remained rock solid in their dedication to your children during this difficult pandemic and have proved how essential they really are. Let's show them how much they mean to us!

As we begin to plan for this special week there are multiple ways that you can help!
  1. Provide monetary donations via paypal (link at end of the newsletter) or at the front desk
  2. Share your ideas via marissah@katieskids.net
  3. Volunteer to provide items when the time comes. (More info to come on that in the future.)
