Teacher's Appreciation Lunch

To show our teachers how much we as parents appreciate their commitment to our children, we host a teachers' lunch once a trimester. These lunches are on the parent club calendar. The calendar indicates which class is responsible for which month. The lunches begin at noon and end at 1:00pm. Parish and school staff and teachers are invited to the lunches. These lunches are to be simple fare and are arranged to allow the teachers to have a meal and visit together.

To Do:

• The respective room parent checks the parent club calendar to find out what month his/her class is hosting the lunch for the teachers and two weeks prior to the luncheon sends out invitations to the faculty and staff (evite or punchbowl works well).
• The teachers' lunch will be held in the St. Peter's Room and will be a simple meal, but it will be up to the respective room parent to coordinate what is brought and by whom. It is helpful to make a list of items needed and have a sign up sheets for the parents of the class. Some ideas for the lunch would be: bagels, cold cuts, chips, salads, casseroles, soda pop/seltzer water, cookies, etc.
• The room parent must also secure at least six volunteers for playground duty for the duration of the teacher's lunch and volunteers to help with set-up and clean-up of the St. Peter's Room.
• All food items should be delivered to the school no later than one hour before lunch begins.
• If paper products and supplies are needed from the parents' club supply cabinet, please contact the hospitality coordinator a day or two before the lunch.
