Thanks for Supporting Educator Appreciation Week

Last week, the PTA celebrated our Sacajawea educators with a full week of games, gifts, food, cards, and flowers. Our PTA Educator Appreciation lead Julie Letchner coordinated the week with contributions from a number of other parents and students.

On Monday, the staff kicked off a weeklong game of Saccleship, a battleship-style game that had educators collaborating for the top prize of $100 to Third Place Books (and wonderful prizes for the rest of the top 10, too). Congrats to Elizabeth Bailey and Jahira Teague who came in with a close 1-2 finish, both having sunk all of the Saccleships (S.S. Sacajawea, S.S. Ball Stuck on the Roof, S.S. Gotcha Ticket, S.S. SHINE, and S.S. Sky House)!

There were even matching cupcakes!

On Tuesday, the educators were greeted with a gift table featuring a collection of themed gifts, such as movies, coffee, gardening, and art.

On Wednesday, the PTA provided a full bagel and lox spread from Eltana along with beautiful bouquets and personalized gift baskets for our homeroom teachers from the Chip in for Class Wins auction event. Thanks to Jessi Friedrichs for making the bouquets and gift baskets happen!

On Thursday, many parents and students contributed snacks for the teachers’ lounge and cards for educators throughout the building.

On Friday, we finished up with a catered Thai lunch to ensure everyone went into the weekend fully fed!

Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped the PTA celebrate and appreciate the contributions of the 55-person staff that make Sacajawea place an enriching and rewarding place for our students to learn.
