Ross is celebrating teacher/staff appreciation week this week, May 12-16. The Ross PTA is coordinating a number of activities to celebrate our 36 remarkable teachers and staff, including:
- Right now, teachers and staff are enjoying a catered breakfast, and there is a thank-you banner on the playground that students and parents can sign.
- On Tuesday, May 13, if possible, each student should bring about six single flowers before school to leave in vases for teachers and Ross staff on the picnic tables outside the school. Students will find the vases for each of their classroom teachers and add a stem to their vases, as well as add a stem to the labeled vases of a few other teachers and staff who have made a difference in their lives. Please spread the love! During school on Tuesday, the PTA will arrange each of these vases and deliver them to teachers and staff. On Tuesday, the PTA also will organize snacks in the staff lounge, as well.
- On Wednesday, May 14, Principal Searl will host a happy hour for teachers and staff, in part with PTA resources.
- On Thursday, May 15, teachers and staff will receive gift cards for neighborhood treats.
- On Friday, May 16, the PTA will provide a catered lunch for teachers and staff and will offer teachers and staff reduced prices on Ross swag.
And at any point in the week, students can bring in cards or small tokens of appreciation to any teachers and staff. (No nuts, please.)
