Teacher Appreciation Week

Dear Families, 

It is that time of year again, when we get the opportunity to show our deepest gratitude for all the teachers! We all appreciate what the teachers have given our children this school year, from the academics to the spiritual guidance and not to mention the love and care, day after day. We couldn’t thank them enough. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to do something special for all our teachers. 

Teacher appreciation week starts Monday, May 6. To show how much our teachers are loved and appreciated, we ask that each child bring the following items to school on the respective days. Participate in one, two, or all five days!

 

Monday - flower(s)

Tuesday - nice fruit(s)

Wednesday - card or note of appreciation (from you or your child)

Thursday - sweet or savory treat

Friday - special handmade item

Please do not forget to make these days special for our most wonderful teachers during teacher appreciation week!

Thank you for all your support. Feel free to contact Saradiya or Anapayini with any questions.

 

Yours in service,

Bhaktivedanta Academy PTO
