Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week 

Thank you!

Staff Appreciation week

We want to recognize Joanne Elder, who coordinated Teacher Appreciation Week from start to finish—bringing together volunteers, donations, schedules, and logistics to make the entire week run smoothly.

A huge thank you to Awish and Trishna, who went above and beyond by preparing a delicious, homemade, custom lunch for our teachers and staff for the final day of Teacher Appreciation Week. The time, care, and heart that went into this meal made it incredibly special and truly memorable.

And a special thank you to Caryn, whose behind‑the‑scenes administrative support was critical to making everything come together, from coordination with the school to day‑of logistics and communication. We are so grateful for her partnership and support throughout the week.

Of course, none of this would have been possible without the many parents, volunteers, PTA members, and staff who contributed in big and small ways along the way. Thank you all for showing up, pitching in, and helping us show our Frost teachers just how appreciated they are.
