MON 5/4: DONATE FLOWERS FOR BOUQUETS

Volunteers will be collecting flowers at entrances and arranging bouquets for the entire staff with your donated flowers! Fresh from your garden is great too as long as they are sturdy enough for a bouquet. bouquets of filler and greenery is also helpful! We can’t guarantee the flowers your child picks go to their teacher, so if that is important to them, please do so separately. Thank you.

TUES 5/5: SEND IN YOUR FAN MAIL!

Homemade cards, drawings, written compliments, and heartfelt letters; bring them all week long to your child’s teacher and any Payne staff that you’d like to recognize. Don’t forget administrative staff, custodial staff, therapists, P.E., extended care, and any staff that goes relatively unseen while making their impact! Sheets of printed “fan mail” can be found in the office if you need any.

WED 5/6: WEAR YOUR TEACHER’S FAVORITE COLOR

Show your teacher you’re their biggest fan and wear your teacher’s favorite color! Favorite colors can be found in the attached list.

THUR 5/7: COMPLIMENTS AND RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

Show Payne staff how much you appreciate them today by sharing smiles and telling them why they’re so great. Even a simple “you’re doing a great job” goes a long way. Lend a helping hand if you see the opportunity!

FRI 5/8: FAVORITE THINGS

Send our Payne staff into the weekend with some of their favorite things. Find an item from their favorites list and gift it to them as a small token of gratitude for everything they do to make Payne great. Let’s honor all the wonderful people here who support our kids and families!
