Windy Ridge PTA

Days 4 & 5 of Teacher & Staff Appreciation truly capped off a fantastic week last week!

✨ Day 4: We brought back last year’s incredibly popular Snacklebox Day, where teachers and staff got to fill up on a variety of treats. Michelle McRae also set up a station for making custom Italian sodas!

✨ Day 5: Teachers & Staff enjoyed a hearty breakfast of yogurt parfaits, fruit, and bagels from Jeff’s Bagel Run!

Once again, congratulations to all of our teacher/staff prize winners throughout the week! Scroll through to see the full list!

A special THANK YOU to Stacy Salmon for coordinating the week’s events and Michelle Nietubyc for the fabulous decor!

And thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make this year’s TAW so special for the incredible Silverhawk Teachers & Staff! It takes a village to make these events come to life and we’re so grateful for the village we have here at Windy Ridge! 💙

Celebrating our incredible teachers & staff all week long! 💙 Today’s Bubbakoo’s luncheon was just one small way to say THANK YOU for everything they do—complete with a fun prize table and goodies for everyone. Each staff member received a $5 Starbucks or Target gift card, a free Chick-fil-A sandwich voucher, Caribbean Sol face sunscreen, access to a Dave & Buster’s Teachers Night, and a special beauty or houseware item. We appreciate them more than words can say! 🍎✨
