Happy Teacher's Appreciation Week!

Teacher Appreciation Week - Send a Message

A huge thank you to all of the families that have already sent appreciative messages to our teachers! Our teachers are so touched by all of the warm messages. 

If you have not had the chance and would like to, you can still send messages until Friday, May 12th. 

Both SHMS families and students are invited to send a special "Thank You" to the teachers by sending them to strathhavenmshsa@gmail.com. Your message will be streamed on the monitors throughout the school. 

Teacher Appreciation Luncheon May 26th

To celebrate Teacher's Appreciation Week, the HSA will provide a luncheon on May 26th. In addition to an amazing lunch from Difabio's, we ask the parents to contribute drinks, snacks, and desserts. Please see the Signup Genius if you can help.

School Nurse's Day May 10th and National Nurse's Week May 6- May 12

A huge thank you to our very own school nurse Susan Schmidt-Gillespie RN, CSN. Thank you for all that you do. Your care, patience, and compassion, not only keep our children healthy but are important to their education as well.   

We hope you know how truly appreciated you are!
