Teacher Appreciation Week – May 2 - 6 Meads Mill Families ~This year Teacher Appreciation Week takes place from May 2nd May 6th. The Hospitality Committee has some fun things planned for the staff, but we could use your help! Please take a look at the sign up genius link below to sign up for items needed throughout the week. This is our way of saying thank you to the staff for all of the wonderful things that they do for our children! Some of the things planned include a "candy bar", a Mexican themed lunch on Cinco de Mayo and a "traveling sundae bar". In addition, we are still collecting $5 gift cards to be raffled off to each staff member at the end of the week. You can turn in your gift card donations to the front office in a sealed envelope labeled "Teacher Appreciation Week - Tanya Murphy". If you have any questions, feel free to email Tanya at
