Dear Watts Families:
Teacher Appreciation Week is coming! We look forward to recognizing everyone who makes George Watts Montessori a great place to go to school throughout the week of May 18-22.* We have an exciting calendar of events planned, which we will share with everyone soon.
For now, we invite you to participate in a new-to-Watts Teacher Appreciation Week activity: Watts Teachers and Staff Gift Card Drawing Drive! Throughout the week of May 18-22, teachers and staff will draw from a bucket of donated gift cards of varying amounts from varying businesses as a fun way to brighten their Teacher Appreciation Week. This idea comes from within the Watts teaching/staff community as a way for families to recognize them and their peers.
We need Watts families to donate gift cards! There are 82 wonderful people working at Watts. So, if families donate 82 gift cards, everyone can draw once. If families donate 164 gift cards, everyone can draw twice. And so on. Numbers in between will mean that some get to draw more than others, which will be subject to chance (so, more drawing). Principal Jenn and her team will manage the drawing process.
We need donations of gift cards, delivered to the front office, beginning this Monday, May 4! Gift cards should be for at least $10 and can be to any nearby business. So, coffee shops, local stores, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. If you're able, please donate multiple gift cards! We'll collect through Friday, May 15, keep a tally of donations, and send gift-card-raising updates.
We look forward to showing our appreciation to everyone working at Watts in this fun and festive way! Please contact us if you have any questions, and please stay tuned for more details on our plans for each day of Teacher Appreciation Week.
With thanks,
Ashley and Caroline, PTA Family Involvement Co-Chairs
