Horizon Families,
Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up on May 4-8. PTO would like to inform you of a few ways you can participate in supporting and encouraging our Horizon Teachers and Staff. These ideas are completely optional so please participate in whatever capacity best suits your family.
Throughout the week, Horizon, PTO and some of our local businesses will be providing meals, treats and gifts for our staff. We have created a signup HERE for anyone interested in donating drinks to stock the staff lounge for the week.
If you are considering gifting something to a teacher/staff, we have compiled a list of their favorite things as well as their Amazon wish lists HERE. We ask that you please consider our encore/reading/SPED/IA and other teachers/staff who are involved in your child's weekly education.
Here is a list of ideas for students to show their love and appreciation for their teachers this week. These are all completely optional and can be brought in at any time:
Give your teacher a thank you card or note telling them what you have loved about them as your teacher!
Make your teacher a special picture or drawing
Write your teacher a poem
Bring your teacher a gift, gift card or one of the items from their Amazon Wishlist.
Lastly, we want to thank you for ALL the support and encouragement you have provided to our teachers, staff and school this school year. Your generous involvement, donations and support have helped us provide things for our students and staff that otherwise wouldn't have been possible. We really do have the BEST parents and families and it's all because of YOU!
Thanks again!
