Our theme this year: “Our Staff is the BEST in the World!”
ANNANDALE, Va. — National Teacher Appreciation Day is Tuesday, May 5. Please help us celebrate the incredible staff and teachers of Mason Crest Elementary School during the week of May 4-8 as we take our wonderful staff on a little trip around the world to thank them for their hard work. Please help us show our appreciation by getting involved. How? Be sure to check for details in next week’s Tuesday folder, but here’s a preview on the schedule and daily suggested activities for students to participate in so you can plan ahead:
Monday, May 4: Heading to France! Children are asked to dress in stripes on top and black on bottom, or any combo to get in the spirit!
Donations/Volunteers needed: We will serve coffee and breakfast for the staff in the teacher’s “cafe” lounge. We will need volunteers to donate breakfast items like muffins, pastries, croissants, and fruit. Visit our signup page to volunteer items.
Wednesday, May 6: Headed to Italy! This is National School Nurse Appreciation Day. Children are asked to wear their red Mason Crest Elementary spirit wear to show how much they “heart” our staff.
