Teacher Appreciation Week

Faculty and Staff Appreciation Week: May 5 to May 9

From Monday, May 5 to Friday, May 9, 2025, we will show our appreciate to the Palms faculty and staff, in two ways:

1. We're creating a Gratitude Wall to showcase messages of appreciation to teachers, counselors, administrators, office staff, aides, and custodians.

During the week, have your child or your family write a short note or draw a picture on one side of a small piece of paper, or a Post-It note, to express gratitude to someone at school. Drop it off in the box at the Student Services Office.

2. We're providing treats for the teachers and staff. Please fill out our sign-up form to let us know what treats you'll bring and on which day. Drop off the treats in the Main Office between 7:30am and 7:50am. Store-bought and home-made items are welcome!
