Teacher Appreciation Week May 4th-8th

A Great Start Preschool

Teacher Appreciation Week

May 4-8, 2026

A Great Start Preschool’s Annual Teacher Appreciation Week will be held May 4-8, 2026.   Our Parent Group would like to present each of our staff members with a gift bag full of goodies.  If you would like to contribute, please enclose cash or a check payable to A Great Start Preschool in the enclosed envelope marked “Teacher Appreciation Week” and return it to the preschool office by April 29th.  (Venmo @agreatstartpreschool or paypal aGreatStart@aol.com is okay too, just make sure to specify in the memo).  Gift Cards and candy donations are also accepted!  These contributions will be distributed equally among the teachers, aides, and floaters.  Our substitutes and extra-curricular instructors will also be recognized.  All donations are appreciated! 

We would also love to provide the staff with a “catered” lunch every day during Teacher Appreciation Week. If you would like to sign up to order lunch, drinks, or dessert, please use the link below.  We have 14 staff members, 12 on MWF, and 11 on Tues/Thurs.  This is also something that a group of parents or entire class could “chip in on” and contribute toward.  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0A4FADA629ABFE3-62990158-teacher#/

Of course you are welcome to do something special on your own!   Please take advantage of this week to show your support of our staff.  A kind note, fond memory, child drawn picture, or special token to your child’s teachers, aides, and floaters are appreciated.  Without their devotion to your children and dedication to our school, we would not have the quality program we do today!

Thank you for taking this week to recognize our staff- the heart and soul of our program.  We appreciate your participation, and thank you for your continued suppor

 Ms. Katie ~ Ms. Sharon ~ Ms. Amy ~ Ms. Erika ~ Ms. Hannah ~ Ms. Mandy ~

What will the funds raised be used for?  Playground Improvements!  All funds raised will go toward enhancing our outdoor play spaces this summer. Our playground climber will be staying, but we plan to add additional equipment and activities to replace the current kitchen area with something more functional and developmentally engaging (that will help prevent mulch from being dug up and poured into the play sink). We’re excited to create an improved space that supports creativity, problem-solving, and active play for all of our students.

Scholastic Book Order Due

Scholastic Book Clubs Orders Due!

*This will be the last order of the school year!

Order due date:  04/17/2025

Shop our school page:  orders.scholastic.com/GVJLC

Shop Flyershttps://clubs.scholastic.com/all-flyers/

Class Code: GVJLC

Our class is excited to read with Scholastic Book Clubs! It’s a great way to build your child’s book collection at home and help them improve their reading skills. When you shop with Scholastic Book Clubs, your orders earn points we can redeem for books and other classroom supplies.

‍ ‍

Here’s how it works: We’ll send home flyers like these periodically throughout the year. If you decide to place an order, you do it through our class ordering page. Your books will arrive at school about 10 days after I submit our classroom order after the due date.

When you place an order, please use the class code GVJLC or school name, not the teachers name unless otherwise instructed. 

Please make sure to include your child’s first and last name (or as much space as you can fill in!) so we can make sure the order goes home in the correct student’s backpack.

Parent Connection Group Meeting:

Monday, April 13th @6:15pm

Sign up in the hallway near Door 10 or let Christina know if you plan to attend. Sorry, childcare not provided for this meeting, but you may bring your child with you to quietly play in the classroom while we meet. 

Topics: Art Show Feedback, Preschool Prom, Teacher Appreciation Week, End of Year Events

 

Join Our Parent Connection Group!

Looking for a way to stay connected, support the school, and get to know other parents?

Our Parent Connection Group is a casual, welcoming space where parents can make a meaningful impact—without a huge time commitment.

We meet in the evenings for about 60–90 minutes, a few times throughout the school year.

Whether you come to one meeting or all of them, your presence and input are valued!

This group works behind the scenes on school-wide initiatives like:

·         Planning and supporting fun events and fundraisers

·         Coordinating Teacher & Staff Appreciation efforts

·         Discussing school procedures and sharing feedback as needed

·         Building a stronger parent-school-community connection

Note: This is not the same as volunteering in the classroom. For classroom roles or event-day help, please refer to our Family Volunteer Program policy for more details.

Participation in this group is completely optional—but we appreciate every bit of support.

Come for the conversation, stay for the community!

(Consider this our version of a PTO type group!)
