Staff Appreciation Week is May 4th-May 8th.
Let's show our BUpper teachers and staff how much they mean to us and how much we value them!
We are so excited to have the opportunity to CELEBRATE the exceptional work of our teachers and staff. Please join us in recognizing their efforts throughout the year and especially during this challenging time.
MONDAY: Email a picture of a thank you note to your teachers, specialists, counselor, or support staff member.
TUESDAY: Send a picture or a drawing of a flower that you found to your teachers, specialists, counselor, or support staff member.
WEDNESDAY: Draw a picture of your favorite memory from Bailey's Upper this year and send it to a staff member that helped make it happen. Be sure to include a caption!
THURSDAY: Send a digital thank you note to your teacher here (.http://thankateacherva.com/) Each submission enters the recipient into a raffle for a Virginia vacation or other fun prizes!
FRIDAY: Make a thank you video and send it to all your favorite staff members. Tell them how much you appreciate them and what makes them so special to you.

More FCPS Grab and Go Updates
FCPS transitioned many of the grab and go meal sites at school locations to curbside service.
View Complete List of Meal Sites and Times: https://www.fcps.edu/news/coronavirus-update-food-resources
Curbside meal pick-up stations are generally located in the bus lanes at the schools or in the kiss and ride area. Look for the canopy tent along with Food and Nutrition Services staff, who will deliver meals directly to vehicles.
Walk-ups are still welcome at all sites. Walkers are asked to use school sidewalks to safely navigate their walk to the pick-up stations.
Breakfast and lunch meals are available together and wherever meals are being distributed.
As a reminder, it is important to follow social distancing guidelines. Be sure to stand a minimum of 6 feet apart from others and practice regular hand washing, including prior to leaving a residence to pick-up meals, upon returning home, and before consuming food.
