Once a year there is
National recognition for the work our Principal, Vice Principal, Guidance
Counsellor, Teacher’s, Educational Assistants, Administrative support and
custodians do with and for our children throughout the year. History has allowed GWMS Parent Council to do
something to recognize all of them during this week, however, last year we
found asking the parents of the Graduating class (Grade 8) to make or purchase
treats as a way to say thank you to the staff, was very successful. The parents were happy to participate and it
meant much more to the staff to receive this from the parents, as opposed to
receiving something from the Parent Council.
Treats could include, but are not limited to ,
cookies, apples, fruit or veggie trays, little dainties, spinach dip, juice, cake,
muffins, meat & cheese trays, crackers, anything at all for the staff and
faculty to enjoy during their morning and/or afternoon breaks.
I would like to
coordinate this with you as much as possible in an effort to see that each day
they are recognized in some small way.
If you could donate to the celebration of appreciation, please email me
back, so that we are providing something for them each day as opposed to
everybody donating on the same day. My
email address is thenewfie@shaw.ca .
GWMS has 50 staff
members, so it would be nice if with 110 Grade 8 students, we could get at
least 10 – 20 parents to contribute snacks or other little tokens of
appreciation (it doesn’t necessarily have to be food) for the GWMS staff, to
celebrate this week of recognition.
We thank you for your
consideration.
Dara Mayo, On behalf
of the GWMS Parent Council
