Hi Marnie and Mehwaish,

Here is the schedule for Educator Appreciation Week next week =E2=80=93

Monday- Brunch charcuterie board delivered by Natasha in the morning

Tuesday- Activity with the students with parent volunteer

Wednesday- Lunch catered by Quality Catering

Thursday - Video Presentation

 Friday - Care Packages delivered by Natasha

As far as Miss Anna=E2=80=99s Spotlight, we would prefer that it happen bef=
ore the
end of this week, to really make it about her.
Dina will see if she can find a way to make all the text and a picture of
Anna fit on one page that could be printed out and posted in the daycare.

Would it be possible to send us pictures of all the educators, please? We
have yet to receive them, and we do need them for something.

Thank you so much for everything, have a wonderful night

<br>
Hope you&#39;ve all had a great week so far!<br>
I just wanted to touch base on a few things regarding the plans for next <b=

week. I know I spoke to some of you this morning but after some <br>
reflection and some discussions with Mehwaish we wanted to just clarify <br=

some things.<br>
<br>
Regarding the art activity, I do think it&#39;s best if you assigned a <br>
parent volunteer to come in and do the art activity with the children of <b=
r>
each classroom as opposed to the educator doing the art with them. As <br>
mentioned to Mira earlier, it is kind of awkward if we (as teachers) are <b=

in essence making our own gift. Furthermore, it almost defeats the <br>
purpose of being a token of appreciation if this is an added thing for <br>
the teachers to take care of. I also think the children will enjoy <br>
having a parent volunteer come and do a special activity with them. You <br=

can set up the activity in the gym and have the children come to you <br>
individually if that makes things easier for you to manage. The teachers <b=
r>
can certainly facilitate and monitor this.<br>
<br>
On the same note, can we also just confirm that what ever activities are <b=
r>
planned that you as the parent committee are responsible for setting <br>
everything up and disassembling once it is done. Again, let&#39;s not add <=
br>
any work to the teachers&#39; many current responsibilities. You can also <=
