New Teacher Appreciation

Uncategorized, , , ,

It s time to think about our annual New Teachers Appreciation Breakfast! Members (only!) of the Argyle Chamber of Commerce are invited to contribute items for the goody bags we give to all new teachers from Argyle ISD and Liberty Christian School.  We suggest items that would be helpful to new teachers pencils, pens, notebooks, erasers, and other classroom items.  Gift certificates are welcome as long as no purchase is required to use the gift certificate. We will maintain a list of donations in the office to be certain we do not wind up with lots of duplicate items, so if you plan to include something in this year s gift, please contact the office via email or text (no phone calls, please!) and let me know what you would like to give. This year s breakfast has two sponsors DATCU and Toyota of Denton, so that we can accommodate the growing number of new teachers we welcome each year.  This community gathering makes a huge and favorable impression on teachers coming into the area, s
