The staff at Haultain Memorial were treated to a spectacular lunch on Thursday, May 21. Parents graciously donated time, decorations, and incredible edibles as a way of showing their appreciation towards school staff. Dishes included a chutney salmon, salsa chicken, cabbage rolls, meatballs, stellar salads, wraps fit for a king, sushi, quiche, and soups to name just a few. Desserts tempted any who came near and as the lunch progressed, satiated smiles (and chocolate-smeared lips) filled the staffroom.
Parents even coordinated supervision for our lunchroom and for outside so ALL staff could enjoy this fantastic treat. You would think that this effort and generosity would be enough, yet parents went a step further, arranging gift cards for all staff members to a variety of locations. The pinnacle of the pampering, however, were the personalized, heart-felt comments, made by students about staff members, that were posted about the room.
So... on behalf of all of the staff of Haultain Memorial, a sincere and deep thanks to everyone who contributed to the staff appreciation luncheon. Your efforts speak volumes to the character of the Haultain community.

Wow - that was a lot of food! By the pictures, it looks like there were a few sleepy teachers afterward, naps all around?
ReplyDeleteSo glad all the staff enjoyed themselves!
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome! I enjoyed helping out in the lunchroom. We have a great group of kids. I especially enjoyed the outside supervision but then I always have been a sucker for walkie talkies.
ReplyDeleteOur staff certainly deserved it!
