As we near the end of this wonderful school year, the PTA would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your continued support. Thanks to you, we were able to sponsor many exciting events and programs for our students and teachers—including the Ice Cream Social, Astronomy Night, Talent Show, Family Fun Night, and programs like Science Olympiad, among others.

As we wrap up the year, we’re already planning ahead—and we’re excited to announce a School Apparel Design Contest! We wanted to give you a heads-up so your kids have plenty of time to get creative over the summer.

We will be selecting three winners:

• One student from grades K–3
• One student from grades 4–5
• One student from middle school

Submission deadline: August 11th,

Design Guidelines:

• Artwork should be on 8.5″ × 11″ paper or submitted as digital artwork
• Keep key elements (such as text or faces) within the top 6–8 inches of the page
• Avoid very small text or overly intricate details

To submit your artwork, please email it to Jill at: jillrsing@gmail.com

We can’t wait to see all the amazing designs our students come up with!

We’re excited to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week 2025 with the theme:
Relax, Recharge, and Refresh!
May 12–16, 2025
Let’s come together to honor the incredible work our teachers do every day by showing them care, kindness, and a little extra joy all week long!

Here’s how you and your child can join in:

“A calm mind is a powerful mind”
Start the week with positivity! Create affirmation cards or gift your teacher a mini stress ball to support mindfulness and calm.

Tasty Tuesday – May 13
“You’re tea-rific!”
Fuel their morning with love—bring in a healthy breakfast, fresh fruit, or a tea bag with a honey stick.

Wellness Wednesday – May 14
“Let us refill your cup.”
Let’s keep our teachers refreshed! Surprise them with their favorite beverage—water, coffee, tea, or juice.

Thankful Thursday – May 15
“You light the way.”
Share your gratitude with a heartfelt note from you or your child. A few kind words go a long way!

Feel-Good Friday – May 16
“You deserve it!”
Send in a self-care item like a face mask, lip balm, lotion, or cozy socks to wrap up the week on a relaxing note.

Let’s show our teachers just how much we care—mind, body, and heart.
Thank you for your support in making this a truly special week!
