This week is Staff & Teacher Appreciation Week! The PTA is sending each staff member a small token of our appreciation, but we encourage you and your classes to think of some way this week you can show them extra love! Maybe your student could send an email with a poem, make a sign and hold it up during your class meeting, you as a parent could take some time to share your thoughts – any way you can express that you value their time, expertise, and miss them. Thanks for doing something extra during your already busy week. If this break has shown us anything, it’s how much and how hard teachers work and how much they adore our kids. Remember the other staff too, admin and all the staff who bring all the “extras” to you students experience

Volunteers/Pledges needed!
Louisa Boren’s, Friends of a New Playground needs to show community support and engagement to be eligible for a $50,000 grant that will be used to create a master plan for a school and community playground. Currently, there are 20 volunteers that have pledged time and we need pledge support from at least 100 people. Volunteering, for this phase of the project, looks like attending meetings, providing feedback on designs, and donating supplies for meetings. Children are encouraged to be a part of this process and they can be included in the volunteer pledge portion of the application, adding to the total hours that we need to reach to be considered for grant approval. If you know of community members that want to see improvements to the Delridge Neighborhood, please share the link with them and get them to support our playground.
Please take a minute to fill out the online form to pledge volunteer time and support.
