Get ready for Teacher Appreciation Week May 4-8! We'll celebrate all of our amazing teachers, staff, admin, and bus drivers with a full week of appreciation planned for them.
- Tuesday May 5th: Smoothie cart from the PTA.
- Wednesday May 6th: Teacher's lounge clean up.
- Thursday May 7th: Gift Card Day! Gift cards will be picked at random.
- Friday May 8th: Lunch for the teachers!
You can help by donating $15 gift cards to local businesses. Gift card day is possibly the teacher's favorite of the year! (teachers, please let us know!) But because we are not allowed to use PTA funds for gift cards, once we commit to doing this activity we must receive enough gift cards for everyone through donations. Send gift cards in with your student May 4-6. There will be a box to collect them in the front office. Or you may drop them off ahead of time at the address listed in the sign up link.
Use the sign-up link to volunteer to help out at the in school events. These are fun opportunities to see the school during the day and to chat with the teachers. Please sign up for a shift!
The 2026 Crosstown Hoops provided another exciting night of basketball. Congrats to all of our Thoreau teams for your hard work and great sportsmanship. A huge thank you to the many volunteers who made the event a success! And a special shout out to Allison McKee for her tireless work on the event!
