Teacher Appreciation Week is here—hooray!
A time to celebrate our teachers in a heartfelt way.
You’re invited to join in the fun, big or small,
Every kind word or gesture means so much to all.

Send a little treat to brighten a day,
Or write a sweet note your child can help say.
Kind words from students and families always go far,
They remind our teachers how truly valued they are.

A big thank you to our PTLT, too—
For showering our staff with treats all week through!
Your generosity helps make this celebration shine,
We’re so grateful for your support and time!

Thank you for partnering with us to show love and care,
Together we make appreciation felt everywhere.
We can’t wait to celebrate—thanks for being part of our team,
Our teachers are amazing, and you help make them beam!

-Ms. Renteria
