🪄 Teachers Create Magic!
Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week (May 3 - 8) is a special opportunity to express our gratitude for the dedication, guidance, and support our teachers and staff provide our children every day.
To ensure every staff member receives a meaningful gift and to simplify the process for families, we have established a central Teacher and Staff Appreciation Fund. Suggested donation is $25 per child, but please give what feels appropriate and affordable for your family. All contributions must be received by May 1, 2026. 100% of these funds go directly toward the gifts presented on Friday.
Please see the email sent on April 20th for the list of events.
