3. Gift Cards Needed for Teacher Appreciation Week
While the snow may still be melting on our lawns, the Teacher Appreciation Committee is hard at work preparing for Teacher Appreciation Week occurring May 6-10th. As part of the appreciation events, we like to provide each Wayside Staff member with a $25 gift card to Amazon or Target. Please sign up now to donate gift cards to our incredibly devoted staff who provide our students with knowledge, joy and a healthy learning environment.
All gift cards should be brought to the main office in an envelope clearly labeled by April 26th. Gift cards will not go directly to your child’s teacher but will go to a staff member at Wayside.
