The Staff Appreciation Committee is a great committee
for working
parents or anyone who likes to cook! To show how much we appreciate the staff
at Community Montessori, we provide food and snacks for them on days when they have to work long hours, like PIP Workshop
nights and Parent Partner Conference days.
Like last year, we will be providing a “dinner” style or pot luck
style food for the staff on the first Tuesday of every month (also known as a PIP Workshop night). This is a staff meeting day, as well, and most of the staff are at school from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
We also provide a snack for staff Parent Partner Conference days and Child’s Work/Family Exploration Nights. These are small snacks that can left out through the day so staff can grab a bite when they have the time.
Feel free to bring by non-perishable snacks at anytime. We will set them out
in their break areas as a nice surprise. Please see the below schedule for dates & times. We also provide
a theme for each month, please do not feel constricted with this theme it's simply a suggestion!
Things You Need to Know:
·
DROP OFF/PICK UP OF ITEMS
For your convenience, located in the Media Center, the cabinets in the very
back right corner are for PIP.
On
the PIP counter there will be a sign in sheet. Please put your name, dish, location, (i.e. Fridge or counter) and any special
instructions. This will help the setup person(s) to know
what food to set out.
Label everything!
Please use the painters tape and marker located
in the top drawer of the PIP cabinet.
Please do not bring in your best serving dish. We try our hardest not to lose
anything, but it does happen. If you do not want to use your own serving dish, the dollar store has some aluminum trays that
can be thrown away, or ask the Staff Appreciation Coordinator to supply you with some disposable items.
The bottom cabinet is for dish pick up. Please pick
up your dish a day or two after.
·
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE?
You don’t have to cook; you can bring in store prepared food.
·
WHAT COUNTS AS INVOLVEMENT HOURS?
Everything! All the time you spend driving, shopping, and cooking.
We also need two people for set-up and three for cleanup. Set-up is at 3:30 (directly after
school) and clean up is right before the PIP meeting (6:00). You can get your time in after school or before the meeting.
