Teachers appreciated at SJHS

Teachers work pretty hard. Eight hours of the day, five days a week, plus grading and planning after school. And how many times do we say thank you? Well, during the week of April 4th, the PTA, student council, and service learning class showed appreciation for the teachers and other faculty members every day. They made nice posters for each door and gave the teachers gifts every day!

Mrs. Sharalyn Hall, a parent member of the PTA, explained the gifts that the teachers received. On Monday, the teachers were given a water bottle with a small juice mix to go with it. This was just the start! On Tuesday, the PTA made fruit smoothies in the faculty room. On Wednesday, the teachers received a package of corn nuts. Then on Thursday, the PTA again used the faculty room to make crepes for the teachers. Finally on Friday, the teachers were given a caramel apple.

Each gift included a small tag that had a metaphor to describe the gift that was with it. For example: The crepes had “Thanks for rolling up a great year!”

The teachers were appreciated the whole week by the school, the administration, and the students. The teachers appreciated the gifts as well. When asked what his favorite gift was, Mr. Booth, the awesome band teacher here at SJHS, said, “It is definitely a tie between the crepes and the caramel apple. They were both...excellent!”
