Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Cushing Staff work so hard for our learners every day and next week is our chance to show them how much we appreciate them and to say “thank you.” We are appreciative for the support from our parents and our Parent Teacher Organization to help celebrate this week. Although we’re always thankful for our teachers, consider encouraging your child to think of a creative way to show thanks to their teachers next week. We know they work hard every day to positively impact our learners and your child(ren). |

Teacher Appreciation Week—bring gift cards on Monday, May 2nd
Next week, May 2nd through May 6th, is Teacher Appreciation Week and we need your help to show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate all they do for our children!!!! We are looking for donations of gift cards of all kinds, in any denomination, and as many as you want to give. Our plan is to have names drawn daily throughout the week and the staff that are picked will get to choose a gift card off of the “gift card tree.”
In addition to the gift cards, we would LOVE if you can have your child(ren) write a little thank you note or draw a nice picture for the staff. We will hang all of those along the gift card tree.
Please send these to school in an envelope labeled to Mrs. Mirek, Staff Appreciation on Monday.
Let’s show the Cushing staff how much we love them with your generous gift card donations!!!
Thank you from the Teacher Appreciation Committee!
