It’s the best time of year when we get to spoil all the teachers and staff and thank them for taking such great care of the students at Purdy! Staff Appreciation Week is May 48 this year. We’re seeking volunteers to help set up and clean up, draw prizes & donate food items throughout the week. The schedule and sign up link are below. Please also keep a lookout for more information about how students can get involved each day!

Sign up to volunteer here!

  • Monday, May 4 – Desserts & drinks
  • Tuesday, May 5 – Catered lunch, plus desserts & drinks
  • Wednesday, May 6 – Pancake breakfast
    • For breakfast on Wednesday, please have items there right at 8am (or you can drop off the day before)
  • Thursday, May 7 – Baked potato bar, plus desserts & drinks
  • Friday, May 8 – Sandwiches, salads, plus desserts & drinks

(We are asking for desserts and drinks every day. Drinks and desserts are for lunch, so please drop off at 11am. There are just under 70 staff at Purdy.)

Your help would also be greatly appreciated the Friday before, May 1, at 3:30pm to set up the staff lounge. Because this was an auction year, we are doing a little spin on the teacher door decorations to take the burden off families and will need help hanging those as well.  

If you want to help plan the week or you want to support but cannot do drop offs, please reach out to Julie Hoffman to join the committee or to arrange pick ups: 949-422-7196 or julianabell@yahoo.com

Thank you so much! We couldn’t do this without you!
