Teacher & Staff Appreciation

Our teachers are the heart of Stormonth and Bayside, and each year we look for new ways to show our gratitude for the care they take in educating our students.

 

This school year, the PTO has been hosting teacher appreciation moments throughout the year, including:

  • conference dinners for the late nights October and February
  • hosting a holiday lunch for all staff in December
  • a new coffee maker for the Stormonth teacher lounge
  • stocking the fridge with iced coffee (donated by Happy Coffee) and other beverages
  • adding snacks to the lounges (donated by That's It!)
  • working with room reps to have students send letters of appreciation for Thanksgiving

 

In May, we'll continue to show our gratitude with Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8), which includes daily surprises for our teachers and staff! 

 

May 4-8 Appreciation Week Schedule of Surprises: 

  • Monday - Build-Your-Own-Bouquet Bar

  • Tuesday - Teachers’ Lounge Concession Stand (to be restocked throughout the week)

  • Wednesday - Morning Perk Deliveries

  • Thursday - Appreciation Gestures, have all the students bring in a card, drawing, or poster for their teacher(s)!

  • Friday - Catered Luncheon and Treat Bar

 

See below for the help and support we need for our district-wide efforts!
