Next week is Staff Appreciation Week! This is our time to celebrate and honor all the educators who inspire and motivate our students every day. Remember all those times that our children were able to go in early, stay late or use a Saxon time to get extra help with a confusing concept, ask for feedback on a paper or project, retake a test or quiz, or just have a conversation about their challenges and successes?
Consider taking a minute next week to send a hand-written thank you note or email to these staff members to express your gratitude and appreciation for all their everyday efforts to support your child.
A special reminder for seniors to thank staff members and counselors who wrote their college recommendation letters and helped them with their applications.
The PTSA Hospitality Committee will host its final staff luncheon of the year tomorrow, Fri, May 4. The staff always tell us what a great morale booster these luncheons are for everyone in the building. It's nice to get them away from their classrooms to relax and enjoy a delicious meal with colleagues they aren't always able to see. Special thanks to all the families who donated gift cards to be given out at the luncheon as an extra expression of gratitude.
Our students are fortunate to have so many opportunities available to them -- a variety of course offerings, performing arts, athletics, and clubs and activities. Please join me in thanking the faculty members who work so hard to provide these options and support all our children as they strive to achieve their dreams.
~ Jennifer Feinstein, PTSA President

Saxons, did you know . . .
One juul pod used for vaping can contain as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes.
This feature gives an important piece of info on drugs, alcohol or mental wellness. We hope these messages serve as conversation starters about substance use, stress and decisionmaking with your teen and family.
