Schertz Elementary School is operating without an active Parent Teacher Committee (PTC), so in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week, members of the SCUC Education Foundation stepped up this morning to bring food and cheer in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week. Three carts, filled with fresh fruit, chips and granola bars, along with passes for one hour of bowling at the nearby EVO Entertainment, helped brighten the morning of teachers and staff.
Lorrie Housley, Education Foundation trustee, thanked each teacher as they emerged from their classrooms and presented them with a gift pass good for one free hour of bowling this week at the EVO Center. While she and principal Geri Pope were expressing their gratitude, Kim Klinge, another Education Foundation trustee, was busy placing new appliances in the school’s teacher lounge. Two microwave ovens, a smoothie maker, a toaster and a game-changing air fryer - donated by sponsors, now are part of the room’s amenities for teacher use.
“It means more than words can describe,” said Mrs. Pope. “The work that our teachers do is moving mountains, and to show appreciation on a consistent level - to show the connection - it means a lot to all of us.”
More gifts are forthcoming this week for teachers and staff at Schertz ES as Education Foundation sponsors will generously extend the “thank yous” in various forms. Trane Technologies will provide lunch, courtesy of Chick-Fil-A on Tuesday. First United Bank will cover Wednesday with a Sweet Treats Bar, and Schertz Bank will deposit a Picnic Basket-themed lunch on Thursday. The week culminates with breakfast tacos on Friday morning, courtesy of Guadalupe County Constable Jeff Large for Precinct 3 - and a Friday afternoon treat from Aulsie’s Ice Cream Truck.
We thank the SCUC Education Foundation for its generous support and gesture, letting the Schertz ES teachers know their daily efforts are appreciated - and seen.
