Staff Appreciation Luncheon – Wednesday, May 22, 2011 Thank you to the many parents across the grades who have supported the monthly staff Appreciation events organized by grade level Room Parents. (and a special thanks to those Room Parents!) Flynn staff had their break room cleaned and stocked, were treated to breakfasts and special luncheons. Needless to say, the teachers are tickled by the outpouring of support.
Every May in celebration of Teacher Appreciation week, parents throw a luncheon for Flynn Staff. For the past few years, Flynn families from the Vietnamese community have made some fabulous main dishes for teachers – we are inquiring about this again this year. Families round this out with delicious salads, drinks, desserts and playground staffing so teachers can relax and chat without having to supervise kids on the playground.
NOTE: At the end of this post is a copy of the memo being sent home in backpacks this week. This event depends on your generosity of time and cooking! Let's show our Flynn staff some love and appreciation by putting out a nice spread for them! Check your calendar and your pantry and sign up now via email or wait for the memo and send that back into the office. Emails can go to flynnschoolpto@gmail.com or akbelluche@aol.com
If enough families enter, we have a shot at winning a schoolyard habitat at Flynn - how cool would that be - a new school garden and new playground!! Read below and visit the Facebook page to enter (or the email below)
Enter to win our Schoolyard Habitat Sweepstakes
Schoolyard Habitat. are similar to the Wildlife Habitats that we install for clients and then NWF certifies. They must include the same basic features - Food, Water, Cover, Places to Raise Young, and may also incorporate Sustainable Gardening features such as compost bins, raised vegetable beds and other container gardens. The Schoolyard Habitat is coupled with curriculum and a maintenance plan to keep the students, teachers and community involved and assure its long-term success.
The design will be tailored to meet the needs of the school, the interests of its members and the challenges of the site. The value of the design and installation of the Schoolyard Habitat that we are donating is $2,000 ($500 plants, $500 other materials, $1,000 labor) and could include:
- native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife including birds and butterflies,
- supplies such as feeders, a birdbath, and bird houses,
- a compost bin,
- a raised bed, and
- pathways and seating made out of natural materials such as mulch, stumps and boulders.
If you live in Addison or Chittenden County VT and would like to have a Schoolyard Habitat at your school then either send me an EMAIL (lindenlandscaping@
