Thoreau Elementary PTO
Staff Favorite Things
As the holiday season approaches, we gathered a list of Staff Favorite Things. There are lots of fun (and free!) ways to show staff you care. Thanks for your consideration, and thanks to PTO staff liaison Lindsay Miles for her work compiling this list!
Sparkle Day: December 20
On Sparkle Day, students are encouraged to wear clothes with sequins, metallic threads or shiny buttons. Don’t have anything that sparkles? That’s OK! Your child’s sparkling personality is enough. Students will also be making wearable sparkle crafts in their classrooms. (To keep our school clean, we respectfully request that students not use glitter as sparkle.)
Families are welcome to join the sing-a-long virtually via the Thoreau Facebook Livestream.
