Teacher Appreciation Day

On Wednesday, May 4, in conjunction with National Teacher Appreciation Week, let's show our gratitude to the JFK teachers & staff who give so much to our children with a luncheon in their honor! Last year's event was a huge success, and the teachers were so grateful for the lovely and abundant assortment of fresh, homemade foods and "grab-and-go" options.

Here's how you can help: Donate food, drinks, or flowers — or make a monetary contribution in support of the event (checks made payable to "JFK PTO" can be sent in with your child and/or brought to the main office). Sign up is easy and online:
