Kind, caring, hard working, loving, determined, creative, fun, committed. . . these are just a few words that come to mind as I sit and think about the wonderful faculty and staff we have at Perry Central. It is hard to really find the words that truly can express the admiration and appreciation I have for all of you. You are the role models that I aspire my own children to be around and the work family that I could never replace. You create a positive impact on our community for many generations to come.
Even though Teacher Appreciation Week seems a little different this year as we are not allowed to celebrate together - it doesn't change the pride I feel when I think about working with all of you. To all of you, I "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart.
This year, we were unable to send student thank you cards to each of you, so we tried something a little different. Students sent in signs and we created a video for all of you to view. I was touched by the students who willingly participated and wanted to express their gratitude - just another example of the lives you have touched. We hope you enjoy it! (I also had two students send in their own videos and I have posted them for you to view.)

Hope you can come to school on Tuesday at 11:30 and pick up your appreciation lunch! It will be great to see you!
Important Information:
Honor Banquet: Just a reminder that we will be recording our Honors Program by grade level on Monday. You should have received calendar invites for the grade levels that you need to be included on based on the awards you are giving. Below is a script we will use on Monday. Please check the script lists (open the document and you will see) and make sure I have you listed on the appropriate grade level. I don't want students to be invited to the event and then not be recognized - so the accuracy of the names is important! Looking forward to seeing everyone!
