Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation Week is in full swing at Frenchtown and we'd like to give a huge shoutout to the Hospitality Committee for all of their hard work. Today, the teachers and staff are being treated to a catered lunch from Cilantro and margaritas (virgin, of course!).

Big thanks to Renee Ludwig for organizing this great treat, as well as the back massages teachers got to enjoy on Monday!

And the staff are also being celebrated with special door decorations this morning, thanks to Monique Rosiello and Katie Erickson. 

Tomorrow is Grab 'N Go Snack Day so if you signed up to contribute, please remember to send it with your child in the morning!

Teacher Conference Day Thanks

Big thanks to the PTG Hospitality Committee for providing the teachers with lunch from Corner Bakery and freshly baked breads to take home today. It was a great way to show how thankful we all are for all that they do!

Teacher Appreciation Week

Thank you to the Hospitality Committee led by Donnah Plante, all of the volunteers and everyone who contributed to make Teacher Appreciation Week such a success last week! The Frenchtown staff really enjoyed the treats and gifts they received.

Here are a few pictures from the delicious Cinco de Mayo lunch catered by Cilantro Mexican Cafe in Coventry.

Donations and Volunteers Needed For Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week

May 4th-8th is Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week and the PTG Hospitality Committee needs your help to celebrate the Frenchtown men and women who work so hard for our kids.

Please consider volunteering your time or donating something to make their week extra special. Here's what we're looking for:

Monday, May 4th: Easy snacks (think bagged pretzels, cut up veggies and fruit, cheese and crackers, etc.)

Tuesday, May 5th: Water and blender drinks (we'll need water, mixes for the drinks, volunteers to make them as well as blenders we can borrow for the day)

Thursday, May 7th: Desserts (cookies, cupcakes, brownies, fruit, etc.)

A SignUp Genius link will be sent out as the week gets closer but mark your calendars now! In the meantime if you have any questions, please contact Donnah Plante (donnahmatthews@live.com). 

Teacher Appreciation Donations Needed

The hospitality committee needs your help! We are hoping to do a teacher appreciation "raffle" at the end of February.  During this event, teachers will be given raffle tickets for the chance to win donated prizes such as gift cards, a basket of treats, a box of classroom supplies, etc.  We will be creative!

Please consider helping out by:
1) Asking local businesses for donations (we have a standard letter with tax ID that we can get to you)

2) If you are a local business, consider contributing

3) If you are not a local business but have something you'd like to donate for the raffle (i.e., school supplies, a gift card, an hour of volunteer time to a teacher, etc.), please let us know.

No contribution is too small!

To donate or volunteer to collect donations, please contact Donnah Plante - donnahmathews@live.com.

Big Thanks!

Many thanks to the hospitality team led by Donnah Plante, all the parents who donated and the Corner Bakery Cafe for providing the "grab and go" goodies for today's teacher conference lunch sponsored by the PTG. The teachers and staff were thrilled!
