Thank You, Teachers! BCCS Celebrates Teacher Appreciation Week
BCCS teachers took center stage this Teacher Appreciation Week with events spotlighting their leadership, expertise, and talent. We were thrilled to show our appreciation for the incredible impact they make every day!
Here are some highlights of how we celebrated our amazing team across BCCS schools:
To start, Children’s Education Center staff walked through the doors to find a table filled with goodies themed after the “Color Me Grateful” rainbow.
On Wednesday, May 7, the theme was blue.
“A treat of blue for all you do!” cheered Denise Gaughan, Children’s Education Center Director, as staff took Oreos, Rice Krispies Treats and Capri-Sun juice pouches to snack on throughout the day.
Denise said that staff members enjoyed guessing the next day’s colors and puns.
“We wouldn’t be here without teachers,” said Denise. “The dedication that they have day in and day out, and the planning that goes into everything they do, even if it seems simple, there’s so much that goes into it.”
At Barbara C. Wilson Preschool, staff were treated to delicious snacks and lunches provided by the BCW Parents’ Association (PA).
The Parents’ Association worked diligently to ensure that each day of Teacher Appreciation Week was special. Families volunteered to provide catering, such as bagels, Philly Pretzel Factory pretzels, a variety of wraps, salads, candy, and pizza.
“We are so grateful to have such a dedicated Parents’ Association,” said Diane Condy, BCW Director. “The delicious lunches and desserts remind the staff that their hard work and compassion make such a difference for families.”
Post Avenue Preschool administrators also celebrated the teaching team following the “Color Me Grateful” theme. One highlight was a surprise visit from EMTs distributing “RED-iculous How Much We Appreciate You” gifts.
Marcus Avenue Preschool’s PA was equally celebratory, organizing a robust luncheon with sandwiches, fruit, and dessert for teachers to enjoy on Teacher Appreciation Day.
As an extra show of gratitude, the BCCS executive team carved out time to personally thank and present gifts to teachers across all four programs.
The compassion and dedication of each teacher is deeply appreciated, during Teacher Appreciation Week and beyond.
