Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week is almost here (May 4-8), and we’re celebrating Sunrise Valley’s amazing team with an All-Inclusive Resort theme - complete with daily treats and a festive Friday luau. We know this is a busy time of year, so all contributions are completely optional - but every little bit helps make the week special. Whether you donate items, gift cards, or funds or sign up to volunteer, it all adds up to a meaningful show of appreciation. Ways to join the celebration:
-
Sunday, May 3 (5:00-6:00 PM): Weather permitting, chalk the Sunrise Valley sidewalks to welcome staff on Monday (chalk provided!). **Please decorate sidewalks only - no chalk on walls, pillars, or covered surfaces.**
-
Tuesday, May 5: Help stock snacks and refreshments (drop off at the front office by 9:30 AM)
-
Wednesday, May 6: Donate $10 gift cards (Target, Amazon, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Cafesano, etc.) for special staff prizes and giveaways (drop off at the front office by 4:20 PM)
-
Friday, May 8: Contribute drinks, sides, and sweet treats for the island-style staff luau (drop off by 9:30 AM)
Can't help with the items or sign up to volunteer? You can also donate funds here. We’ll be sharing more later this week about simple, daily ways students can participate during the week to show their appreciation, too. Thanks for helping the PTA create a week full of gratitude and joy for our teachers and staff!

Help the Sunrise Valley PTA bring a little paradise to our amazing teachers! As part of Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week (May 4-8), we’re giving teachers a well-deserved 30-minute break on Wednesday, May 6, to relax in the lounge. We’re looking for parent volunteers to assist with recess coverage (5 volunteers per grade level) so this break can happen. It’s a simple but meaningful way to show appreciation! What to know before you sign up:
- Volunteers must be registered in the FCPS volunteer system
- Please sign in at the front office upon arrival
-
Arrive a few minutes early and plan to stay for your full time slot
- A teacher or administrator will be present on the playground at all times

Next week, we’re rolling out the red carpet for our amazing teachers and staff with our Welcome to Paradise theme - and students can join in with simple, meaningful acts each day. Participation is easy, flexible, and completely optional. Here’s how students can take part:
-
Monday: Wear your SVES spirit wear
-
Tuesday: Write a postcard or note to your teacher (and don’t forget specialists!)
-
Wednesday: Bring a sweet treat or a kind note for your teacher
-
Thursday: Bring or draw a flower for your teacher
-
Friday: Wear something tropical-themed or your teacher’s favorite color
These small gestures go a long way in showing appreciation - thank you for helping us make it a week full of gratitude and joy!
