Teacher Appreciation Week!!! May 5 - May 9
Dear CW Needham Elementary School Families,
We’re excited to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week from May 5–9, and we invite you to join us in recognizing the incredible dedication and hard work of our teachers!
A kind word, a note of thanks, or a small gesture of appreciation can go a long way in making our educators feel valued and supported. Let’s come together to show them just how much they mean to our school community.
Looking for ideas on how to say "Thank you"? We’re happy to share some simple and meaningful ways your family can participate:
Thank you for helping us honor the amazing teachers who make a difference every single day.
Wishing all our Needham Knights peace and blessings,
Sonja Renhult, Principal of Clyde W. Needham Elementary School
