Teacher Appreciation Week - May 6-10
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We would like to provide our teachers with duty free lunch during this week.
Lunch is from 10:45am - 1:00pm.
If you are available to come in and monitor the cafeteria during a 30-minute or longer lunch period, please reach out to me -- laura.a.lindsay@gcpsk12.org or 678.344.3527.
Our goal (wish) is to be able to provide all grade levels coverage during the entire week.
How do you monitor during lunch? Walking around making sure students are using inside voices, students are not playing around, assisting any student raising his/her hand (needing utensils or condiments), and making sure students stay in their seats until it's time to leave and assist with class dismissal from the cafeteria. Also, assist with cleaning up tables and floor after the class is dismissed.
Let's show our teachers how much we appreciate them!💖💓💖
