Staff Appreciation Week is May 2-6
Here's what we have in store. Sign Up Here (https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A45AEA92CAAF49-staff1) to volunteer and contribute.
· By this Friday, April 29, please send a special picture or video message of your child thanking our amazing teachers and staff by clicking on the link below for inclusion in this year's Staff Appreciation Video. We encourage your kids to have fun with this and to be creative! You can upload directly from your phone or computer.
· On Sunday, May 1, help us chalk the walk and write notes of appreciation to the teachers and staff on the sidewalk in front of school. We'll be up there between 4 and 5, but feel free to come at your convenience.
· Monday, May 2 is a teacher work day. We are looking for a volunteer to coordinate purchasing/hanging a Staff Appreciation Banner, Balloon Arch, etc. so it's there to welcome staff on Tuesday morning. Please sign up if you can help!
· On Tuesday, May 3, the PTA is sponsoring a Deluxe Omelette Party for Staff! The Omelette Chef will be serving breakfast from 7:45 - 8:45 am. Slots are available to set up/decorate the Staff Lounge to kick off the week!
· On Wednesday, May 4, or any day next week, we encourage parents and students to send a message or small gift to any Ritchie Park staff who you would like to personally recognize. Even something as simple as a short note of thanks from you or your child can be especially meaningful. Templates are available for your use.
· On Thursday, May 5, the PTA is hosting a potluck Staff Appreciation Lunch. Slots are available for contributing food, drinks, decorations, helping with set-up and clean-up, etc. Non-perishable items can be left in the office Wednesday or Thursday morning.
· On Friday, May 6, the PTA will be providing staff with Carmens for an afternoon treat, and will be holding a Gift Card Giveaway. Slots are available to donate $10 gift cards to Amazon, Target or Starbucks. We will raffle off the number of gift cards we receive. We'd love to provide a gift card to each of our amazing 50 staff members!
Thank you all for being so supportive of the PTA's Staff Appreciation Week activities--let's work together to make this the best one yet!
