May 4th-8th: Wicklund in Wonderland Staff Appreciation Week!

Dear Parents,

It is time to say thank you to our wonderful Wicklund Staff. Let’s be honest: our staff spends 6 hours a day navigating the "Wonderland" of elementary and middle school—taming tempers, mending scrapes, and teaching everything from ABCs to "please don't eat the glitter." They return every morning, regardless of whether our kids are grinning like Cheshire Cats or feeling a bit "off with their heads."

To honor the team that makes Wicklund magical, Staff Appreciation Week (May 4th–8th) is going through the looking glass! Here is how WSF is celebrating:

  • Monday: Breakfast & a Flower Bar.

  • Tues/Wed/Thurs: Royal Lunches fit for a Queen...or King (plus a Wednesday Drink Me Bar!).

  • Friday: A Mad Tea Party with bite-sized treats.

  • All Week: A whimsical game where staff members spin for challenges and prizes of all sizes!

Your Royal Invitation to Help: WSF covers most costs, but we need your help to bridge the gap. Donate items, food, or funds via the link below to keep the tea party going! Thank you to those of you who have already donated at our pop-up appreciation table!*.

The Golden Ticket: For every item or cash donation you make for Staff Appreciation Week, you earn a raffle ticket for a reserved parking space next year! Don’t need it? Gift the "Golden Space" to your favorite staff member. The winner will be drawn on Friday, May 8th.

Don't fall down the rabbit hole of procrastination—click below to support our staff!

 

*If you would like to donate in person and/or sign cards for staff members, WSF will have an appreciation table set up at the front of the school during Open House on Thursday, April 23rd, and again the next day during the Menchie's sale on April 24th.

Faculty Favorites

A handwritten thank-you note from a student or parent is often cited by teachers as the most meaningful gift they receive. If you'd like to give a staff member a gift individually, many of our faculty have their favorite things listed on the faculty favorites page on our website here

Want to Donate Something That's Not On the List?

Our lists are not comprehensive, and you are welcome to donate other items to staff appreciation week.  Other possible donations could be $5 gift cards to various stores (e.g., Starbucks, Audible, Target), snacks, drinks, etc. Just tell us what you're bringing drop it off on Monday morning!  Thank you for all your generosity and support!
