• Hey Kodiaks! Did you know that Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up in May??? Well you have the chance to say thank you to a teacher or staff member here on Ustach’s campus.  Peer Helpers have placed a box on the student table in the back office for you to place your notes of gratitude to a Kodiak staff member.  So think about those teachers and staff who have impacted your life in big and small ways.  Consider writing a note of appreciation to a custodian, lunch server or campus supervisor who was friendly to you. You could also write something nice about an office worker, counselor or administrator.  This is the time to say all the nice things you’ve been wanting to say, and have your letter delivered to them during Teacher Appreciation Week. Some notes will also be selected to be read over the morning announcements. So be sure to get your letter turned in to the back office within the next week!
