Fall Thankful Leaves
Let’s show our BWES teachers and staff our appreciation by creating a “Thankful Tree” filled with notes of gratitude for the month of November.
On the Fall Leaf Template below, you will see outlines of fall leaves. We ask that your child write a note or make a small drawing on each leaf, color in the leaves, cut them out, and return to the school. RETURN BY: Thursday, November 18th!

Keep all BWES staff in mind as you write notes--we have SO many dedicated educators and staff who make our school so special (for example, health room staff, front office secretaries, paraeducators, special education teachers, custodians, etc.) The notes may be to the entire staff, a group of teachers, and/or a specific person. If you are finding it difficult to write notes, have your child and/or your family think about a time when a staff member helped them with their work, made them smile, made them feel welcome, did something special, made a lesson fun, helped them to feel more confident, etc.
Please return the completed leaves in a plastic baggie or envelope no later than Thursday, November 18th. The PTA will then decorate a place in the building using the leaves so that staff can reflect on how appreciative we are of them.
If you have any questions, please contact Jackie Brewer, Teacher Appreciation Committee Chair, at jackie.brewer24@yahoo.com or the BWES PTA at pta.bryantwoods@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for taking such a small amount of time and energy to make a BIG impact!! We are grateful for YOU!
