We Are "Star" Struck At The PTA's Work To Make Us All Feel Appreciated!

This is the bulletin board that the PTA decorated.  It is hanging in the front foyer of our school.

May 2 through 6 was Teacher Appreciation Week!  Our PTA went out of their way to make the week memorable for all of us.  Every day they did something special to show their appreciation for the work we all do.  I took daily photos to document the events of the week.  Although the photos show what they did, they can't begin to capture the appreciation we all feel for making us one of the "Stars" in the lives of their children.

On Monday, May 2, we walked in to school to find the floor of the professional development room filled with stars.  Each star had a name of the staff member - they recreated the red carpet treatment often reserved for Hollywood's stars.  

This is the entrance to the star walkway in the Professional Development Room

This is my star. 

These are some of the stars on the walk way. 

Some of the starry, starry decorations. 

On Tuesday, May 3, our students gave us papers that described why we are stars.  The PTA had sent them home to the students to return to us as gifts.  Here are some that my students wrote.  

You teach us math, science and writing.

She knows a lot about the moon.

Dear Mrs. Henrikson, Thank you for teaching me.  I learned a lot in math.  You are the best teacher.  Love, Olivia

Here is a beautiful plant I received to go along with all of the cards!

On Wednesday, May 4, the PTA prepared a wonderful breakfast for us.

Lots and lots of home made goodies.

We all enjoyed the delicious breakfast!

 

On Thursday, May 5, the PTA had even more in store for us!  There was a selection of coupons from local stores that we could choose from!  I love dark chocolate and was very happy to see the coupon for the Bath Sweet Shoppe!

This is the creative sign with our directions.  (I wasn't a Diva, just to be clear.)

On Friday, May 6, we enjoyed yet another wonderful assortment of food - this time it was desserts!  They even provided bags for us to take some home (which I did)!  The cheesecake chocolate brownies were my favorite.

Lower right are the chocolate cheesecake brownies - my favorite.

Thank you very much, PTA!  You really outdid yourselves and we are very grateful.
