Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. May 5th -May 9th Here are some thoughtful ways to show your appreciation: 1. **Personalized Thank You Notes**: Write heartfelt notes to your teachers, expressing specific ways they have impacted your learning and growth. 2. **Gift Cards**: Give gift cards to their favorite coffee shop, bookstore, or restaurant. 3. ** Project**: Organize a project where students create a scrapbook or video montage highlighting memorable moments and expressing gratitude. 4. **Surprise Treats**: Bring in homemade treats or snacks for your teachers to enjoy throughout the week. 5. **Social Media Shoutouts**: Post appreciation messages on social media, tagging your teachers and sharing why they are special. 6. **Flowers and Plants**: Give flowers or a small potted plant to brighten up their workspace. Remember, even small gestures can make a big difference in showing your teachers how much they are valued and appreciated. What do you think you'll do to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week?

Good morning parents. Bus 306 driver called out this morning and the bus company did not immediately work to cover the route. As a result, students who ride bus 306 were left standing at their bus stops without notice. The bus company is in the process of sending a bus to pick up all students that ride bus 306. The students will not be marked tardy when they arrive at school. The school was just made aware of this at 9:50am and has been working diligently with the bus company to get this resolved.

You are appreciated Dr. Clark. Happy Principal Appreciation Day ❤️
