Staff & Teacher Appreciation

“Great school culture is not an accident. It happens when we recognize that we all depend on each other, and then work together to create supportive, caring conditions for everyone—students, teachers, support staff, guests, everyone!”

— David Geurin, Digital Principal, National Association of Secondary Schools

Teacher and Staff Appreciation Committee

Throughout the school year, the Willard PTO shows our immense appreciation for the faculty and staff of Willard Elementary. It takes so many people to provide a great Willard experience for all of our children: the Teachers, the Principal, Assistant Principal, Office Administrators, Social Workers, Psychologists, Nurses, Technology Specialists, Custodians, Librarians, Assistants, Coaches, Speech and Language Pathologists, Occupational and Physical Therapists, and Substitutes are all essential to making Willard great.

That’s why we need help to make sure we’re showing them just how much we appreciate everything they do. Because there are many ways to celebrate our Willard faculty and staff throughout the year!
