Hello Vikings!
We hope this email finds you and your family healthy and safe. It’s hard to believe that we are in May now! Hopefully that means continued better weather and lots of opportunities to get outside. May also means we have Teacher Appreciation Week! As a PTSA, we struggled a little bit to figure out how to honor and make our teachers feel appreciated. Now more than ever, we would like to thank them and recognize them for all the passion and hard work they have put into this school year and remote learning. We came up with an idea, but we need your help!
We know one thing our teachers would really love is to see photos of their students. We would like to invite each student to make posters or signs to express thank you to our teachers and staff and take photos with their signs. We will be compiling all the photos in a slideshow set to music that can be shared with all our teachers and students. In order to get the slideshow put together, we will need your photo(s) submitted by this Thursday, May 7. Please don’t miss the deadline- we don’t want to leave anyone out! We also need a critical mass to be able to put together a video, which means we really need your participation! We will follow up with a link to the video when it is completed.
Instructions:
- The sign can be for their individual teacher or teachers, all teachers in general, or whoever they would like to recognize. It would be great to recognize everyone and make them feel appreciated. You can take individual photos or sibling group photos- be as creative as you want. Former Smith students and younger siblings are also welcome to participate- the more the merrier!
- There are two ways you can share the picture(s) to have them published in the video. The easiest is to upload your photo directly to Robbin Makled’s Amazon share site using this link and joining the share group:
Or if you are unable to upload via the link, you can email the photo to Robbin.Tenglin@gmail.com using the subject “Smith Teacher Appreciation Photo” or text at 313-319-7199
- Please be sure your photos are received by this Thursday, May 7so that we can make a great video, include everyone, and make sure our teachers know how much we appreciate them!
Thank you so much for making this project a different, yet meaningful event for our teachers!
Warm regards,
O.L. Smith PTSA
