📚✨ Teacher Appreciation Week: May 4–8, 2026 ✨📚

Hello Parents!

Next week we’re celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with a fun, fairytale-themed experience for our amazing staff—and we’d love your help adding a little extra magic! 🧚‍♀️

We’re inviting families to donate creative and thoughtful “coupons” that staff can win as prizes throughout the week. These can be simple, fun, and meaningful gestures, such as:

🍽️ A homemade meal
🍪 A batch of cookies
🚗 A car wash
☕ A coffee drop-off
🌸 Flowers from your garden
🏪 A sample or service from your family business

For example:
“I will bring you a dinner serving of my homemade pot roast next time I make it! Text me at 555-745-8812 if you win this prize! – Mrs. Jones”

Almost anything that brings a smile is perfect—or feel free to donate a small gift card if that’s easier!

If you’d like to contribute, please email Erica Maynard at [email protected] with your coupon wording by Thursday, May 7, 2026, and include the best way for the winner to contact you.

Thank you for helping us make this week extra special for the people who give so much to our children every day! 💙✨
