We love our Teachers and Staff!

Next week, May 4 – 8, is Teacher (Staff) Appreciation week! We have a few, fun activities that we would like your help with. We will also be honoring the staff all week on our Facebook page, Chinook PTSA, by sharing some fun facts about each staff member and photos. 

Chinook Family video to the Staff

Please send us a photo of your student(s) holding a message to their teacher, or a short video clip (less than 30 seconds) of your student sharing a message for their teacher or the staff. Photo and video submissions will be accepted through Tuesday, May 5. We are hoping to share this video with the staff on Friday, May 8. The video will also be shared on Facebook.

Send photos and video to: chinookptsapresident@gmail.com

Send your teacher a thank you card!

Use this link to access a fun thank you card! Since we are not in school, this activity can be printed and then scanned into an email to your teacher.
