Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation Week is celebrated nationally this week. At Hancock, we like to celebrate all of our amazing staff that dedicate themselves to educating and caring for our students. Participation is completely optional, but if you and your student would like to join in the celebration, our PTF has created themed days to help you find ways to recognize teachers and school staff. See the calendar linked here. Of course, you can always show your gratitude in your own creative ways.
