Teacher Appreciation Week!
We officially celebrated our Buist teachers in March. However, we want to THANK them for continuing to inspire our students. Buist teachers show up every day and give their all to support student growth and achievement. Our school community is not complete without their love and encouragement.
We would like for students to show appreciation and gratitude this week by selecting one or all of the following ways to celebrate teachers:
Write a nice note or poem to give to your teacher
Draw a picture or make a card for your teacher
Share a wonderful memory with your teacher
Create a sidewalk drawing and send your teacher a picture
Wear your teacher's favorite color on Friday
Celebrate your teacher in your own special way
Parents may join the opportunity to show gratitude by sending teachers and staff members kind notes or emails. Your positive notes and kind words mean very much to our faculty and staff members.
