Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week

Next week, we’re celebrating the MVPs who make our school shine — our amazing teachers and staff! We’re thanking them for helping our students grow, thrive, and reach for the stars, both in and out of the classroom.

Below is the game plan for the week, packed with fun events and ways your family can jump in and show our all-stars the appreciation they deserve.

Let’s make some noise and show them they’re the true champions of our community!

We need YOUR help to celebrate our incredible team!

As a big THANK YOU from the entire Bateman Community, we’re raising funds to gift every single Bateman teacher and staff member a special gift card — a small way to recognize the huge impact they make every day.

This is our chance to honor ALL of our MVPs — not just our amazing teachers, but also our custodians, lunch staff, security team, classroom aides, SECAs, clerks, therapists, nurses, and education support personnel.

That’s 115 All-Star Staff Members who guide, teach, and care for our favorite little humans!

Thanks to everyone who scored big at the Spring Fling Wine Pull, we already have a strong start — but we need the whole team to finish strong!

Let’s show our Bateman All-Stars the appreciation they deserve — please donate today!

We’re gearing up to stock the Teacher Lounges and Lactation Room — and we need your help to keep our Bateman MVPs energized and ready to win the day!

Got any extra supplies at home? We'd love donations of:

• ☕ Coffee or Tea K-Cups

• 🍬 Sugar, Creamers

• 🍿 Snacks (bars, chips, nuts, etc.)

• 🎯 Microwaveable Popcorn

• 🧻 Paper Goods

• 🍴 Plastic Utensils

• 📄 Reams of Paper

If you can pitch in, please contact friendsofbateman@gmail.com — or make it even easier by ordering directly from our Amazon Wish List (link below)!

Every little bit helps keep our All-Stars powered up — thank you for being part of the team! 💜

We’re aiming to make next week’s Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week one for the record books — but to make the magic happen, we need your help!
