Chalk Party - This Sunday
Teacher Appreciation Week

Mark your calendars for the chalk party hosted by PTA on Sunday, April 30th @ 2pm. We will have chalk available for all kiddos who show up that afternoon.

Kiddos from each class can decorate their individual teachers’ parking spots and can also leave chalk notes of appreciation on the concrete and blacktop areas outside each classroom. The party will be from 2-4pm.

Teacher Appreciation Week
Watch your kid mail folders for a flyer coming home with details on all the fun activities your PTA has planned for TAW! This year, we will be decorating the teachers' parking spots with sidewalk chalk again like last year, but with a twist! We are holding a PTA fundraiser to help us treat our staff throughout the week and possibly earn a premium parking spot for your teacher!
Contributions will be collected by your class room parent(s) until Tuesday, April 25th. The top three classes who raise the MOST funds for teacher appreciation week will get the chance to gift their teachers a prime parking spot with some extra special flair to be enjoyed for the week! Please reach out to your room parents for more information on how to contribute.
That week, each teacher and staff member will be given a corsage to wear throughout the week. We're also asking each kiddo to bring a small note or picture they can pin to their corsage throughout the week!
