Staff Appreciation Week Donations
Can you believe it, your Hospitality Committee is already planning for Staff Appreciation Week (May 5-9)?! Just like last year, in order to plan, we are going to do our fundraising for Staff Appreciation Week a little early. Our goal is to raise $5,000 over the next 4 weeks to pay not only for Staff Appreciation Week, but also to cover hospitality events for the rest of the year. We work hard to stretch every penny!
Our hope is to have these things for our teachers and staff on Staff Appreciation Week:
One delicious Peruvian catered lunch (you guessed it, Alpaca!)Two different types of biscuits and lots more at a yummy catered breakfast
Three small gifts of useful things staff to keep at their desks
Four different flavors of a sweet treat (shhh!! It’s YoPo!!)
Six different kinds of donuts from Dunkin and coffee from Starbucks on our Coffee Cart
Fifteen different snacks in a snack bar for an afternoon pick-me-up
Worth a MILLION BUCKS!! A REDESIGNED, UPDATED, BEAUTIFUL, NEW & IMPROVED TEACHERS LOUNGE!
Please give generously to the staff and teachers who do so much for our students! https://www.culbrethptsa.org/shop/ptsa-hospitality-contribution

Run or walk with your teachers and your friends at the Public School Foundation 5K for Education on Saturday, March 15, 2025 at 8:30am at McCorkle Place on the UNC campus. For the second year in a row, we will also have a 1K for families with younger children at 8:40am. Join in for a morning of joy and wellness to celebrate how lucky we are to be part of the CHCCS community!
LET'S SUPPORT OUR TEACHERS, SCHOOLS, AND COMMUNITY
Encourage your teachers to register and register your family as part of YOUR school team. $10 from each adult registration will go directly to your selected CHCCS school when you register. $100 goes to each school that has a cheer station along the 5K route.
LET'S SHOW OUR SCHOOL PRIDE!
The CHCCS school with the most registered participants will receive a catered lunch for their teachers! Cheer and support our school mascot while they lead us in a stretching warm-up and then follow our mascot to the start line along McCorkle Place. Don’t forget to run or walk past our school's designated "cheer station" and wave to show school spirit!
