Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week 2026

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4–8, and we have a full week of celebrations planned to show our teachers just how much they mean to our community.

Our teachers give so much to our students every single day — and this week is our chance to pour a little back into them. The HSA has organized a full week of events designed to make every teacher feel genuinely supported and appreciated.

We also know that May marks the start of "Maycember" — one of the busiest stretches of the year for families. That's why family participation this year is simple, low-stress, and completely optional. We've done the heavy lifting so that joining in feels joyful rather than like one more thing on the list.

How families can join in

Families are warmly invited to participate on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Everything below is completely optional — choose whatever feels right for your family this year.

• Wed, Apr 29 Last day to purchase "Favorite Things" items on Amazon. Items ship directly to our committee. Use the link or QR code in the attached flyer.
• Mon, May 4 Send in a "refuel" themed goodie — coffee gift cards, energy drinks, snacks, or anything that gives a boost.
• Wed, May 6 Send in classroom supply donations. Your room parent will share your teacher's specific wish list. Volunteers will collect items at school on Wednesday.
• Fri, May 8 Send in a handwritten thank-you note to your teachers. A few heartfelt words go a long way.

Thank you for helping us make this a week our teachers will truly remember. Your support means the world. 💛
