Monday we kicked off Staff Appreciation Week with a delicious Around the World Potluck! Parents and volunteers treated our staff to an incredible spread of homemade dishes, including pollo pimiento, chicken rustica, buñuelos, and more. It was a warm and tasty way to start the week and show how much our staff means to us.
On Tuesday, we celebrated our amazing staff with a special theme: "You are the Key to Our Success." Everyone enjoyed refreshing Jarritos sodas, received key-shaped bottle openers, and were surrounded by encouraging words and messages of appreciation. It was a day to recognize how each staff member plays a crucial role in our school’s success.
Midweek was all about helping our staff relax and recharge with our “You Deserve a Break” theme. We surprised them with a brand-new coffee machine, plenty of coffee, chocolate, and candy, plus fun games, activities, and puzzles in the break room. It was our way of giving them a well-earned moment to unwind and enjoy a little extra care.
To top it off, our friends at Unfurl Yoga & Wellness gifted each staff member a free yoga class to help them truly unwind. We’re so grateful for local partners who show up for our educators in meaningful ways.
On Thursday, we treated our staff to a little extra sweetness with our “Thanks for Making Life Sweeter” theme. A dessert bar was set up in the staff room, offering plenty of tasty treats to enjoy. Each staff member also received a $5 gift card to B’s Bake Shoppe; just a small way to say thank you for everything they do.
We wrapped up Staff Appreciation Week with a delicious catered lunch featuring tacos de canasta and all the fixings. It was a flavorful and festive way to close out the week, bringing everyone together to celebrate the hard work and heart our staff bring to school every day.
