Show your appreciation

When it comes time to thank the Brookdale teachers and staff for all they do for our children, there are small gestures and big actions. We write notes, we send flowers, we buy gifts.
And together as a PTA, we try to make a difference for our educators.
Last year, under the leadership of Nancy Berry, the Staff Appreciation Committee cleaned and painted the teachers lounge and workroom, making upgrades that made a difference in teachers' daily lives.
The response was so positive, Nancy suggests the PTA continues with such upgrades this year. Possibilities include new cabinets and counters or a new stove for the lounge, or picnic tables where teachers could eat outdoors or lead outdoor lessons or class projects.
Nancy is stepping down as committee chair, but she's willing to guide a new volunteer by sharing her ideas and the notes she has from last year's project.
If you're interested in heading up the committee, please e-mail Judy Nagel-Conley.
