Teacher Appreciation Week 5/3-5/7 Teacher Appreciation Week is here! Although we cannot all be together, that doesn’t mean we can’t show A LOT of love for our teachers. Due to Covid restrictions, we are unable to do our usual week long celebration of our teachers. PTA will, however, be providing special lunches on Monday and Wednesday, and then a special treat on Friday. If you would like to show your own special appreciation for your child’s teachers, I’m sure they would love a special note, gift card, treat, or even a thank you email.
Mustangs, let’s show our teachers how much we appreciate them!! 🙂
