TEACHER APPRECIATION MONTH - We need you to help!!!

2011-05-05T22:11:00.000-07:00

This week is officially teacher appreciation week. Instead of keeping it to one week, however, we're extending it to teacher appreciation month!

So please voice your appreciation by making a note of appreciation from you to your teachers. Please go to this link today to know more how you can participate: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KzCzCk-Z5g0BXOWSV-3VM9sXG-aitT1JD8VLbSeXO2A/edit?hl=en&authkey=CNKEo4kB

Also, at the CRTs we will ask you to participate in making a short little video for teacher appreciation...so be ready to give a nice comment of 30 seconds or less. A flip camera will be there for you to use. It can be a quick shout out to all your teachers or a short mention regarding one teacher or circumstance. If you are unable to do it there you can make one on your own and send it to Ladanea@gmail.com

Our expressions of gratitude will make a difference to our incredible OHSU teachers . . .

We hope you will take the time to voice your appreciation!

Thank you, from your Freshman and Sophomore Class Officers!!
