Planning Teacher Appreciation Week Celebration
This year, our school has chosen the theme: We Think the World of you.
- Monday: French Inspired Breakfast Before School
- Tuesday: Gracias Gift
- Wednesday: Italian Luncheon
- Thursday: “Xie Xie” (shia shia) from China
- Friday: “Thank You” from America
- Printed newsletter

Tips for involving all families in Teacher Appreciation Week Celebrations.
- Keep the information short, sweet, and to the point.
- Include details on when, where, and what to bring.
- Make sure to include celebrations that ALL families no matter what their socioeconomic status may be. That means, have some home-made, no cost ways for children to contribute to the festivities.

I’m willing to pay a small amount for it (I don’t have a budget for teacher appreciation week). Please let me know!! Thank you
