From the PTO: Teacher Staff and Appreciation Day, Thursday April 13 The annual Teacher and Staff Appreciation is around the corner. On Thursday, April 13th, we want to thank all the wonderful people at ASW that do so much every day for our children. Since many years, we celebrate this special day for teachers and staff members combining both, the American and the Polish tradition. Flowers are given to teachers and staff members (Polish) and a luncheon is provided by ASW parents for all of them (American). The PTO organizes a flower sale in the morning. Students can purchase flowers from 7:45 am to 8:30 am at all three school entrances (Elementary, Main, and High school). The cost of each flower will be 5 pln. The luncheon for all faculty and staff is served in the multipurpose room later that day. In order for this event to be a success, we need your support! Dear parents, we kindly ask you to consider donating food for our lunch. We are grateful for any sized portion you can bring. All information (when and where to bring food) can be found in the documents that are listed below.
