It's Teacher Appreciation Week!
Our amazing and talented faculty and staff ignite the imagination, nurture young minds, and go ABOVE and BEYOND every day to bring learning to life for our students. Join us in celebrating them during Teacher Appreciation Week!
Let's shower the teachers this week with acts of kindness. Please encourage your dragon to write a card, create a piece of art, or even pick some flowers to share with teachers. The week also includes daily treats and a boxed luncheon.
With grateful hearts, The St. Michael's Parents' Association
