Thank you Staff Appreciation Volunteers!
Hello Wonderful Staff Appreciation Volunteers,
Thank you so much to everyone who signed up, cooked, baked, shopped, and delivered food for our Sunny Hills Staff Appreciation Lunch. Because of you, the day was truly joyful. 🀩 Our staff felt seen, celebrated, and incredibly grateful.
It’s so important that we show our teachers and staff, the people who are with our kids every day, just how much we see, value, and appreciate all that they do. Your generosity helped remind them of that in the most warm and delicious way.
And let us just say… the food was amazing. We may have taste-tested just about everything, so we can confidently confirm that you are all stars in the kitchen!
Your time, creativity, and kindness brought so much warmth into the staff room, and it showed in every smile and every “thank you” we heard throughout the day.
We are attaching a few photos so you can see your hard work come together. It was a beautiful spread and a wonderful start to our year of staff appreciation.
Thank you again for making this event such a success. We truly couldn’t do any of this without you! πŸ’™ πŸ’›
With appreciation,
Lauren & Tracy
P.S. For those who cooked or baked, if you’re willing to share your recipes, the staff would love to know your secrets! We’re planning to put together a recipe collection to share throughout the year. Feel free to send any recipes our way!
