The Forts Ferry PTA is sponsoring a few activities to show appreciation for Forts Ferry teachers and staff for their great work.  Please see the different activities below and join in if you can.

• Take a picture of your student holding a sign thanking his/her teacher and/or staff member.  Email the picture to the teacher and/or staff member to brighten his/her/their day.
• Decorate your driveway or a sidewalk with messages of appreciation using chalk for one or more teachers and staff members.  Take a video of the artwork and post it on the week’s FlipGrid.  Directions for FlipGrid will be sent out via School Messenger on Friday, May 1^st.
