Teachers at Incline's schools won't have to bring their lunch to work next week as the Parent Teacher Association and booster clubs have elaborate treats planned for school staff, including breakfast and lunch buffets and snacks in between.
The occasion: Teacher Appreciation Week, a chance, said Incline Elementary School PTA volunteer Susie Orlady, for parents to give back to the teachers.
Orlady said staff at IES will be treated to breakfast and smoothies on Monday and a gourmet lunch on Thursday. Under Orlady's direction, parent volunteers know that if they are going to donate food, it had better be homemade.
"Nothing packaged," Orlady said.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday IES staff will be gifted with goodie bags and mini massages.
At Incline Middle School teachers can look forward to a similar week of activities including breakfast on Monday, goodie day on Tuesday, lunch on Wednesday, massages on Thursday and cake and tea on Friday.
"The teachers have to put up with all those hormone-driven teenagers every day of the week and they put in a lot of extra time to coach and support them," said IMS booster club volunteer Nancy Hurr, one of the chairs for this years teacher appreciation week. "We just feel they give so much to our community and our kids and we need to thank them for all their time."
At the high school, the IHS booster club has combined their own funds with donations from parents and with community restaurants to put together a week long program of snacks and lunchtime meals.
"We had a wonderful response from restaurants around incline," Hurr said. "It is kind of neat that it is not just the parents, but that it is being embraced by the entire community."
Teacher appreciation week was established by the National PTA in 1984. It took the place of Teacher Appreciation Day, a day of recognition for teachers that Eleanor Roosevelt had persuaded Congress to establish in the mid 1950's.
Claudia Smith, IMS secretary said it is a week she and the rest of the staff look forward to every year.
"They always treat us very well and do a wonderful job," she said.
