Teacher Appreciation Planning
The PFO has a lot going on for the spring! So we need to plan in advance and are now accepting donations to Teacher's Appreciation Week. We hope to raise enough money to cover TAW expenses this year.
This year for TAW, we have secured 5/2 to provide free chair massages to faculty/staff. Jennifer Stuart has sent sign-ups to faculty/staff.

Since most of us parents work full time, we did not have enough volunteers to host the breakfast or lunch last year or this year so we are depending on your donations to pay our very own Culinary and Hospitality trades to provide breakfast and treats!
|

Many thanks to the parents who have already donated! We greatly appreciate your generosity! To date, we have $590 for this spring's TAW! We need $600 to cover breakfast by Culinary and treats from Hospitality.
Last year we received $466 in donations (Thank You Parents!) to help cover costs for breakfast and lunch but the total cost that was needed to pay Culinary was $840 ($4 per person for breakfast and $10 per person for lunch). In addition, we also received food and beverage donations from parents for TAW, including a 6 ft long sandwich, a tray of homemade Colombian chicken, 5 large pizzas, snacks and tons of beverages! Again, thank you so much to our parents! We hope this year we can get enough donations to cover all costs.
Thank you so much for helping us thank our faculty and staff!
