Good afternoon EM Families,
I hope you all had a wonderful and restful spring break. With the sun shining and flowers blooming, it truly feels like spring is here!
We’ve had a fantastic first week back, and it was great to see our students return with such energy and excitement. Here are a few updates and highlights:
A Message from our PTA
Staff Appreciation Week is coming up May 5-9th, and we’re excited to show our incredible teachers and staff just how much they mean to us! We’re reaching out to our wonderful family community for help in making this week extra special.
Here are a few ways you can get involved:
1. **Gift Card or Gift Basket Donations**
Help us spoil our staff by donating gift cards (any amount is appreciated!) or themed gift baskets. These will be gifted throughout the week to spread joy. All gifts need to be collected no later than Friday, May 2nd.
2. **Volunteer Your Time**
We’ll need help with setup, decorating, daily surprises, and hosting appreciation events. Even an hour of your time can make a big difference!
3. **Offer a Special Service**
Do you have a business or service that could brighten our staff’s day? Whether it's catering a lunch, offering mini massages, coffee donations, or anything else—we’d love to hear from you!
If you're interested in helping in any of the above ways, or for more info on when and where to drop off gifts/donations, please email me at
[email protected]
Let’s come together to celebrate the amazing people who support and inspire our children every day. Thank you so much for your generosity and support!
