Here’s our chance to show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate all the work they do for us all year! Here are some things the kids can do to make their teachers feel special:

• Monday – Bring your teacher a flower
• Tuesday – Give your teacher a hug or handshake
• Wednesday – Write your teacher a note
• Thursday – Be on your best behavior
• Friday – Tell them what you like best about your class

AND please remember that the children see other special people at our school. Your child may want to do a little something for our aides, librarian, computer teacher, PE teacher, office staff or another person that is special to them at Nixon. Thank you!
