In appreciation of the teachers and paraprofessionals who have been working hard this past year (during the pandemic)

In appreciation of the teachers and paraprofessionals who have been working hard this past year (during the pandemic), PS 676 held a Teacher Appreciation Week from May 3-7.

There were numerous activities throughout the week so the students and community could give thanks to the teachers and paraprofessionals. Many of them involved food and creativity by the kids at the school.

This year Principal Figueroa wanted to have a Teacher Appreciation Week at the school but in previous years they have had a day to recognize the teachers at PS 676.

On May 4, there were teacher and paraprofessional shout-outs on the school public address system. On May 5, there was a candy bag giveaway for the teachers near the entrance to the building. One sign said “Teachers and paras… we’re sweet on you! Please take a candy bag!”

On May 6, there was a bagel breakfast with juice and pastries for the teachers that was donated by Edwin and Melinda Pacheco from Redemption Church. Edwin is the lead pastor at the church.

On May 7, the students used their creativity to show their appreciation for their teachers by decorating t-shirts and making rigatoni necklaces and paper crowns.

The PS 676 students had the opportunity to design the t-shirts with messages or make the necklaces while they were having lunch. The kids got to make and decorate the paper crowns for the teachers when they were in the YMCA after school program that begins in the building after the school day ends.

Mothers of reinvention. “It’s never too late to be what you might have been,” according to writer George Eliot, who spoke from experience. Born in the UK in 1819, Mary Ann Evans found her audience using the masculine pen name in order to avoid the scrutiny of the patriarchal literati. Reinvention, of style if not self, is in the air
