Kick off Staff Appreciation Week by helping us build a giant Gratitude Brick Wall for our bulletin boards!
Families are invited to stop by after school between 4-5pm to write thank‑you messages on colorful “bricks” that will be displayed all week for staff to enjoy.
PTSA provides all supplies
Quick, drop‑in style — stay 2 minutes or 20
Kids and families can write as many bricks as they’d like
These bricks become the centerpiece of our appreciation displays
This is the easiest, most joyful way to start the celebration. We just need YOU to show up!
We’re asking families to contribute sweet treats (store‑bought or homemade) to create a community‑donated dessert spread. Sign up here...every contribution helps!
Students are encouraged to bring their teacher something small from their Favorite Things list to end the week with a personal touch. Browse staff favorites here!
At Horace Mann Elementary, our staff go above and beyond to support, inspire, and care for our students every day. The Horace Mann PTSA Hospitality Committee is proud to recognize this dedication through monthly staff appreciation events that bring joy, comfort, and community spirit to our school.
These events are a meaningful expression of gratitude, and they are made possible through the involvement of our incredible community of families.
Each month, our Hospitality Committee creates a themed appreciation experience for staff. These events vary throughout the year and we aim to strike a balance between fun foods, special gifts, and useful supplies, often with a seasonal theme.
Our monthly efforts draw from three key sources:
We create opportunities for families to share their time and talents by baking homemade goodies, preparing dishes, or contributing simple items. These events build connection and allow anyone to participate in meaningful, budget-friendly ways.
Local businesses often partner with us to sponsor coffee, snacks, desserts, or even lunches. These partnerships strengthen our ties to the wider community and help stretch our resources.
Some appreciation moments are fully funded through our Colt Corral donations to ensure our staff receive something extra-special. These funds help us provide thoughtful, well-deserved gestures that celebrate staff in big ways.
By blending these three sources, we ensure all events—big or small—are meaningful, sustainable, and accessible for volunteers.
We are always excited to welcome new volunteers! Whether you enjoy planning events, cooking or baking, shopping for supplies, decorating, or simply delivering a dish once in a while, there's a place for your participation.
We know your time is valuable. That's why we offer volunteer options that fit any schedule:
Joining the Hospitality Committee is an uplifting way to support our staff and connect with our community. We'd love to have you with us as we continue building appreciation, warmth, and school spirit throughout the year.
