Teacher Appreciation Ideas
Our Summit families are the best! We are so thankful for the great care and appreciation you show to our teachers and staff each year. Knowing that you are thinking about our faculty and praying for them means so much. Every note, card, or small gift has an impact. Thank you for being a loving and caring school family.
We are often asked to suggest favorite treats or snacks for our staff. While gifts are never expected, we would like to provide this list to help those interested in blessing a Summit staff member during the Christmas season, Teacher Appreciation Week, or throughout the year.
