Teacher Appreciation Week (May 8-12)
Our teachers strive to ensure every GLC student receives a quality education and enjoys a positive school experience. GLC teachers truly love our students! We all need thanks and encouragement. This is the week to show that love for our teachers!
Here are some no/low-cost ideas for showing thanks and appreciation:
- Draw a picture for your teacher - Tell your teacher in pictures how much you appreciate him/her
- Write a letter for your teacher - Tell your teacher in writing how much you appreciate him/her
- Make something for your teacher - It could be a paper flower, ornament, bracelet, treat, or anything you like
- Wear your teacher’s favorite color - It could be a shirt, socks, pin, hair tie, or other item.
- Catch your teacher SHINING - Write your teacher a SHINE ticket
- Bring your teacher a flower - Pick a flower from your garden, or ask permission from a neighbor. You can even make a small boquet
- Show your teacher your school spirit - Wear your spirit shirt and say THANK YOU to your teacher
