Spotlight: Samantha Smith Elementary PTSA

SpotlightLWPTSA Council is excited to shine the spotlight on Samantha Smith Elementary PTSA to highlight their Staff Appreciation Team!

To show their love for their fantastic school staff these past two years, Samantha Smith Elementary PTSA’s Staff Appreciation Team has organized monthly lunches centered around various cultures and cuisines. Smith Elementary families were invited to sign up for these themed potlucks to share their special festival favorites and holiday treats.

Some of these included Diwali lunch in October, Pie Day in November, Slavic cuisine in January, Lunar New Year lunch in February, and a Ramadan meal in March. Their grand finale this year was a picnic-themed Staff Appreciation Week that included Taiwanese food, sandwiches, sweet treat day, a snack cart, and a coffee cart by LWSD Transitions Academy!

Smith PTSA President Dipti Agrawal says, “Teachers have shared how this experience enabled them to truly understand and appreciate the food their students often speak of during lunch time.”

Smith PTSA is grateful to the many families who took the time and effort to prepare and share their delicious cuisine with the school staff.
