And that’s a wrap on our “Basically Boujee” Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week ✨
What a week it was 🥹
From coffee bar mornings and flower deliveries, to Costco lunch waves, Target Dollar Spot surprises, and our Underground Spirit Day finale… last week was filled with so much love, laughter, creativity, teamwork, and appreciation for our incredible MES staff who give so much to our students every single day.
We watched staff members smile walking into decorated lounges, laugh at themed surprises, proudly show off their spirit day outfits, and feel the love from students, families, volunteers, and our community all week long 💙
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this week possible:
💐 Volunteers who planned, organized, labeled, stuffed bags, tied cards, decorated, and delivered
💐 Student helpers who jumped in with so much excitement and heart
💐 Our local businesses and sponsors who generously donated items, food, drinks, flowers, coupons, and goodies throughout the week
And of course… congratulations to our Underground Spirit Day “Employee of the Month” WINNER 🏆✨
KELLY MIRANDO!!! 💜
Kelly absolutely understood the assignment and brought the employee-of-the-month energy ALL the way 👏😆 (We’re still waiting on a photo! 😉)
A huge thank you to Loco Perro, for generously donating a gift card for our winner! We are so grateful for local businesses that continue to support our schools and staff ❤️
To our MES teachers and staff:
Thank you for the early mornings, the patience, the encouragement, the creativity, the safe spaces, the laughter, and the love you pour into our students every single day.
You are the heart of MES.
The real MVPs.
And we appreciate you more than words can say 💙🐾🥹🫶🏼
