Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week is May 4th-8th, and the PTO is excited to help make it an extra-special week at Ryan. Our teachers and staff work so hard every day to support our middle school students, and this is a wonderful opportunity to show our gratitude. If you’re able to help in any way, we truly appreciate it!
Donate a gift card: We’re collecting $15–$25 gift cards for each of our 73 staff members. While the usual favorites are always appreciated, you might also consider your favorite local spots and shops. A mix of options would be great; home improvement, sporting goods, bookstores, classroom supplies, garden centers, or even a car wash. Thank you for helping us make this special! The office staff will coordinate drawings throughout the week. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0544AAA828A5FBCF8-63804600-teacher
Help with our Salad Bar Lunch on Friday, May 8th: We’ll wrap up the week with a salad bar lunch. Items should be dropped off by 9:45 am on May 8th. If you’re able to contribute, please sign here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0544AAA828A5FBCF8-63809882-may8th #/
Donate cards or stationary: Each teacher and staff member will have a manila envelope to collect appreciation notes throughout the week. Students will be encouraged to write messages before school and during lunch. If you have any blank cards or stationery to spare, we’d love to put them to good use! Please drop them off at the front office by May 4th.
We’re also looking for volunteers to help facilitate this effort by encouraging students to write notes and keep an eye on supplies everyday during the lunch block (10:15-11:55 am). If you’re available, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0544AAA828A5FBCF8-63809468-appreciation
Drop off a snack, treat, or drink anytime during the week for the teacher’s lounge!
Thank you for your generous help in showing appreciation to our incredible teachers and staff at Ryan!
