Day four of Teacher Appreciation was “The One with the Wake Up,” featuring donuts and coffee for our staff. What a great way to start the morning.
A big thank you to Carver Road Baptist Church for providing the donuts and coffee for our teachers and staff.
As we continue celebrating our amazing teachers, families can help make their day extra special by sending a message on Dojo sharing something specific—maybe a funny story your child tells at home, a way their teacher helped them through a tough moment, or something your child looks forward to each day at school because of their teacher.

Day three of Teacher Appreciation was “The One with the Fizzy Drinks,” featuring a fun dirty soda buffet for our staff to enjoy.
Never tried one before? You pick your favorite soft drink, add a cream of your choice, mix in flavored syrup, pour over ice, and stir. Add whipped cream on top if you’re feeling extra fancy.
A big thank you to Brightmoor for helping provide toppings, syrups and creams for this fun treat.
As we wrap up celebrating our teachers, we’d love for families to send a message on Dojo sharing something meaningful—maybe a favorite thing your child says about their teacher, a moment that made them feel special, or something your child has accomplished this year because of their encouragement.

Day two of Teacher Appreciation, “The One with the Taco ’Bout Lunch,” was a delicious success with a Mexican lunch buffet for our staff. We also had a “Cowan Perk” set up as a relaxing space for teachers to unwind and recharge.
It was a wonderful time to enjoy great food and a well-deserved break together. If you’d like to brighten a teacher’s day, consider sending a message on Dojo sharing something specific—maybe a moment your child felt encouraged, something new they’ve learned this year, a time their confidence grew, or a way that teacher made a difference for your family.
