Next Monday (5/5) is the start of Richmond’s “Teacher and Staff Appreciation” week. There are many great opportunities to shower our amazing teachers and awesome staff next week, so please join in the celebration!
Monday (5/5) – Coffee’s on Us, Today!
As a kick-off to the week, all Richmond teachers and staff receive their specialty coffee of choice, delivered to their classrooms and offices by PTA volunteers. Many thanks to Marino’s on Division for supporting this effort. Any and all volunteers who can help with taking drink orders and delivering beverages are appreciated. We need help from 8:05 am until the job is done, about 9 am. If you can help please contact Amy Starr Thomas at [email protected].
Tuesday (5/6) – Mini Massages
Teachers and staff will enjoy complimentary 15 minute massages throughout the day. Thank you to Richmond parent massage therapists who are volunteering their time and talent.
Wednesday (5/7) – Flowers
Every classroom will receive a beautiful bouquet of cut flowers. Please bring flowers from your garden to include – they may be dropped off outside the cafeteria Wednesday morning only, starting at 7:30am. Volunteers needed to help create bouquets and deliver them to classrooms. We need help from 7:45 am until about 9am – any amount of time you can offer is appreciated. If you can help, simply show up on Wednesday morning – please bring cutting shears if you have them.
Thursday (5/8) – Potluck Lunch
Please share the specialty of your kitchen, as we honor our hardworking teachers and staff with a home cooked lunch. Your favorites are their favorites, so be sure to include recipes! There will be a bulletin bord located in front of the main office where you can sign up to bring in something yummy for our teacher Potluck lunch.
Friday (5/9) – Treasure Chests
Please have your child write a note, draw a picture, fold an origami, make a yummy treat – and drop it in the “treasure bag” hanging outside classrooms and offices. This is a wonderful opportunity to tell our teachers how much we appreciate everything they do! Bags will be up all week, so let’s fill them up and teachers can take their treasures home on Friday!
