🍎 Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 🍎
This week, we celebrate the impact our teachers have while they inspire, encourage, and educate our students each day. Thank you for all that you do inside and outside the classroom!
We also want to recognize and appreciate every member of our school community—our hardworking cooks, paraprofessionals, custodians, maintenance crew, office staff, bus drivers, nurse, counselors, and administration. Your efforts ensure that our students are safe, supported, and ready to learn each day. Thank you!
The Book Fair has arrived! Books will be available to purchase Monday, May 5 - Thursday, May 8. The book fair will be open during Family Engagement Night on Tuesday, May 6, from 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM. An e-wallet option allows you to load money into an online account, so students do not have to handle money. Your child's teacher may also have an eWallet set up that you can donate to so they can shop for books for their classroom! Contact Mrs. Walk at mwalk@cumberland.k12.il.us if you have any questions.
