Our Mid-Week trip took us all the way to South Africa for a Safari, where our teachers treated themselves to a delicious Build-Your-Own Trail Mix Bar for an afternoon pick-me-up! 🌍🥜✨

And it looks like our “Gratitude Tree” grew some *very* heavy branches this week! 🍃💛 A huge thank you to everyone who returned their thankful leaves — and believe it or not, this isn’t even all of them! Some teachers loved theirs so much they decided to hang them up in their classrooms too! 😊

♥️ 💙 Red, White , and Bo-time was a great way to kick off our week!

Teachers enjoyed biscuits, fruit trays, and a hot kick of caffeine with a coffee set up!

A Big Thank you to our volunteers that helped get everything ready early so teachers could eat upon arrival before students came in 💙 ♥️

Twas the night before the big fiesta, and all through the halls,

Not a teacher was stirring, no footsteps at all.
The fiesta bags hung by their doors with care,
In hopes that sweet treats soon would magically be there.

The students were dreaming of candies galore,
Of chocolates and gummies and so much in store.
With ribbons and colors and bright paper flair,
Each bag held a promise of joy they would share.
When out in the hallway there arose such a clatter,
’Twas helpers with goodies—what could be the matter?

They filled every bag with delights tier by tier,
For teachers who’ve worked hard all throughout the year.

So here’s to the teachers—may your fiesta be sweet,
With bags full of thanks (and some sugary treats)! 🍬 🍭

Don’t forget to treat your teachers to something sweet Tuesday!

Please share !! Let’s get CSES a win!

🍎 🍏 Thank a Teacher 🍏 🍎

Thank a Teacher started in 2016 with one goal: to thank as many Virginia public school teachers as possible during National Teacher Appreciation Week in May. With thank-you notes designed by students and distributed by the Virginia Lottery, Virginia's residents can thank their favorite public school teachers and help them win a cash prize and supplies for their schools. Every digital thank-you note a teacher receives includes a unique code that can be used to enter a drawing to win $2,500 from the Virginia Lottery and its' partners and $2,500 in supplies for their school. The four lucky teachers who win will be surprised at their school. Send your digital Thank a Teacher note before May 8th using the link below!

Say thanks to our great educators across the Commonwealth by participating in the Virginia Lottery’s Thank a Teacher Art Contest. Learn how.
