Letter to the Editor: Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week

May 3^rd through 9^th is National Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week. The PTSA encourages you to take the time to thank the wonderful teachers and school staff personnel in our community, especially as they work so hard to provide the exceptional services they do during difficult economic times. 

The PTSA held its annual Teacher-Staff Appreciation Lunch at the public school a bit early this year, and would like to thank the many volunteers and local businesses who helped make the event such a wonderful celebration.

Special thanks to Michele Keyes, who coordinated  and oversaw the entire event with wonderful enthusiasm, organization and flexibility. 

Thank you to the many, many parents who brought dishes for the lunch. Your generosity makes this all possible!

Extra thanks to Karin Flattery, Michelle Kostechko, Kristen Wilson, Kim Wareham, Hilary Canty and Carla Stanley for staffing and/or decorations, and to Liz Hance for coordinating the many generous raffle donations from the following local businesses and individuals: West Beach Resort, Kim and Ian Wareham, Ray’s Pharmacy, erb’s Restaurant, Thai Sisters, Teezer’s, The Nest, Rose’s Bakery, Eastsound Sporting Goods, and Poppie’s Yarns.  

Please take the time to thank these businesses for their support. 

Finally, thank you teachers and staff for all you do on behalf of our kids!

Barb Skotte, PTSA President
