Teacher Appreciation Week

[Maggie Fisher-Shipley]

National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 7-11. I know in our house we
are smitten with Mr A's curiosity stimulating, critical thinking &
intellect promoting, self awareness and sense of self building, civic-
minded focused teaching style. (Yeah, we are big fans.)

I would love, love to use that week as a chance to communicate to Mr A
just how much we appreciate all he does. Every teacher I know delights
in notes, cards, pictures, etc from students. It would be *grand* if
we could have Mr A swimming in appreciation from the kids!

Additionally, I thought it would be nice if we could have something a
little extra special lined up for him each day that week, e.g.,
Monday- cinnamon roll, fruit and coffee, Tues- plant, Wed- homemade
dinner to take home, etc. It is not so much what it is, but just doing
something each day. If you can cover a day, please reply so others can
know which days are already covered.

Warmly,
Maggie

Dylan and family would love to bring him a take-home meal for his dinner on Wednesday. Pasta & Co. has amazing frozen casserole-type dishes.

He is an absolute god-send and making Dylan's 3rd grade so amazing!!

Thank you Maggie for organizing us. Mr A certainly deserves the appreciation. I really like idea of a meal to take home.

Eva just said "it seems like he really likes chocolate"'so we will bring in some chocolate on Tuesday. 

FYI - PTSA will also be hosting a lunch sometime that week for all teachers. Specific day hasn't yet been decided. Please let me know if you want to help. We usually have it catered but need a few people there to coordinate. Dessert donations are welcome.

Thanks! Kristin

Brendan says that Mr. A drinks coffee all day long - we'll get him a few pounds of Lighthouse coffee to go along with that chocolate!

I'm happy to sign up for any day, just tell me what to bring. Django mentioned that Mr. A has a habit of breaking his coffee mugs...maybe a metal mug would be in order?
