Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Next week, we will celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, a special time for us to honor the incredible educators who make a profound impact on our children’s lives and our school community. This year, we encourage everyone to join us in acknowledging the invaluable role our teachers play in shaping the future.

By celebrating our teachers, we not only boost their morale but also demonstrate to our students and families the high regard in which we hold education and those who dedicate their lives to it. When our community sees us celebrating our teachers, it invites everyone to participate in this appreciation.

Our Peaslee PTO has organized events all next week to express gratitude for the hard work, creativity, and unwavering commitment to our students among our staff. Coming together to celebrate our educators reinforces the importance of learning and fosters a deeper sense of belonging within our school culture.

Thank you for partnering with us in honoring our amazing teachers this week!

Warm regards,

Mary Coakley, Principal

Thank you to Ms. Sherry, Ms. Sara, and Ms. Irma for working so hard everyday to bring us tasty and nutritional meals at Peaslee School!
HAPPY LUNCH HERO DAY!
