Teacher Appreciation Week Begins Tomorrow

Teacher Appreciation Week kicks off tomorrow morning!  Tomorrow’s (Monday, 5/4) surprise for your teachers and assigned staff members is to bring a Monday Morning Memo – – have your student write a sweet note to their teacher and staff member telling why they’re so great.  There will be two bags in each classroom in the morning for each of the notes.
The rest of the week’s surprises are:
5/5 – Tuesday Treats (bring a sweet treat or piece of candy for teacher and staff member)
5/6 – Wednesday’s Wonderful Words (Create Acrostic Poems.  For each letter of their names, choose a word to describe your teacher/staff member.  Write it down and bring it in to school.  Example: Smart Mannerly Intelligent Terrific Honest (Smith)
5/7 – Thursday’s Terrific Teacher (gifts presented to teacher/staff member)
5/8 – Friday Flowers (Bring your teacher/staff member a flower.  Pick one from your yard or draw a picture of a flower.  Each teacher will have a vase in his/her room waiting.)
The PTO Hospitality Committee has arranged lunches for the teachers each day, as well as several breakfasts throughout the week.
Thanks for your help showing the teachers and staff at Cornelius Elementary how wonderful we think they are!
