Dear Parents and Students

This week is Staff Appreciation Week. Our theme this year is “100 Ways to Thank You.”

Here is your chance to say Thank You to the Teachers (including Art, Music, PE, Language, etc.)

and Staff (administration, divisional VPs, secretaries, library, communications, nurses, etc.) who do so much for your child everyday.

Just think of all the 100 ways the staff and teachers have impacted your child.

This Thursday, May 17, show our staff how much you appreciate what they do for your child. Some wonderful ideas and ways to say thank you could be…

• have your child make a card
• have your child draw a picture
• flowers
• small yummy treat baked from home
• write your own personal card
• fruit
• Big or small – it is the effort and idea that counts.
• Get creative! Teach your child the art of saying Thank You.

We all enjoy a Thank You once in a while.

SAS Board Election

The SAS Board Election results were announced last week. Voter turnout was great.  On behalf of the Pudong PTSA, we would like to thank everyone who participated in the election process.  Whether you spent time meeting the candidates, encouraging voter participation and/or casting a vote, your passion for our school is greatly appreciated.

Congratulations on your graduating Senior!

Now that you know what you are going to prepare…

• Please RSVP your dish you are contributing to:   Liane Moldenhauer at cfmlpm@sbcglobal.net before May 9th
• Please deliver your dish to school before 10:00am on May 14th. For your convenience, we have arranged “drop off locations” in a variety of locations (see list below).  Please contact the hostess directly to let them know you are coming and deliver your dish no later than 9:30am.
• Warming and refrigerator and space is limited, so please send your hot dishes in a box stuffed with newspaper to maintain heat.  Pack cold dishes with a baggie of ice.
• Please label your dish so that ingredients are clear, and you get the credit for your delicious contribution, i.e. Meat Lasagna, donated by Mary Chou
• Use a disposable container, or clearly label your dish.  At the conclusion of the luncheon, plan to pick up your dish at a table set up outside the MS/HS cafeteria Wednesday afternoon.

Another option for participation, make a CASH DONATION!  This will help us off-set additional food and beverage costs (smoothies, coffee bar, paper goods etc.).  Cash donations can be sent with your child.  Mark the envelope “Staff Appreciation Donation” and drop off at any school division office by May 9th.

Thank you in advance for making this another outstanding Staff Appreciation Week!
