March Educator Appreciation Self Care Bar

Let’s show our Ballard High School Educators some love the time of year they appreciate it most… The Month of March! No days “off” + budgeting = time to show some extra TLC… On Wednesday, March 26 we’ll set up a Self Care Bar for the staff to “shop” at before their early-release Wednesday meeting.

Donations must be received by 1:15 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26. Drop marked items in office, shop on Amazon or throw some cash our way… Either way sign up to help donate!

Low on time or cash?? Send a hand written note with words of affirmation, encouragement or a card – those are GOLD and so appreciated! Questions? Contact Ali Schlameus at: staffappreciation@ballardhighptsa.org
