I didn't hear much about Teacher's Appreciation Week, did your admin do anything for your team?

My question is, why do we need all of these special weeks and days for groups of people? Shouldn’t we love everyday (VDay) and show appreciate to specific people everyday (mother/father/grandparents & staff appreciation)?
Should we really appreciate it if it seems forced because of the name of the “day” or “week”?

Life gets busy for everyone, having days set aside helps us take time to thank those who help us! yes, it would be nice to be able to show appreciation all the time. But when life is hectic, it’s not so easy.

We got pizza and bbq for lunch - when it was my lunch time I went down to the teachers room and everything was gone both times. I also had a student fight in my room the first day of teacher appreciation week which I had to break up and no one came to ask if i needed anything so I could take 5 minutes regain my composure. I had the kids that were in the fight holding them back while I had an entire class of kids coming in all asking me for things. I felt so appreciated 🙄

I felt appreciated. As a substitute teacher, it was nice to have all the free food provided.

We got a bunch of pies, a waffle truck, and a tater wagon along with a few other gifts.

Pretty good week overall. Not going to stop us from asking for a nice raise during our next negotiation, but I definitely appreciated the gestures 😆

We got baseballs signed by admin.… i try to appreciate the appreciation gift but thought about the hours they spent signing hundreds of balls and putting into cases…. Many don’t have paper or batteries for their mics… budget cuts…

lots of sweets and foods I can’t eat but overall a cute theme.
Problem is our admin puts a lot of work into these types of things but shy away from solving problems regularly.
Big behavior events but not much daily follow through. Then they feel like they’ve done a ton of work- big events are a lot of work, but problems don’t get solved. just wasn’t my love language. My sil and friends schools sounds amazing.

We had a parent bring us pizza. That's it. Admin did nothing.
