Faculty & Staff Appreciation The FSA Committee orchestrated highly creative and enticing ways to thank and treat teachers throughout the year.
Trunk-or-Treat
Gratitude from Around the World Parents brought their own heritage or culture to the proverbial table with an elaborate “to-go” buffet featuring homemade favorites from Greece, Italy, France, England, Israel, Ireland, and Lebanon.
Employees filled goodie bags with treats and other surprises displayed in the trunks of volunteers’ cars.
Valentine's Day 18
Every teacher and staff member received a stylish tote full of both edible and beauty/self-care treats. The best part was handwritten notes of individualized thanks from parents and students.
