Staff Appreciation Week - May 5-9, 2025
Next week, May 5-9th, is the annual Staff Appreciation Week, honoring Willow Grove’s
dedicated faculty and staff. PTO funds will be used to provide the staff with the annual staff gift and
delicious meals throughout the week. On behalf of the Willow Grove PTO Board, thank you faculty and staff for making school a picnic!
Staff Gifts
While gift giving is completely optional, we would like to share some of the options for gift giving
as the school year comes to a close. Donating to the trail mix bar (above) is one way to give
back during Staff Appreciation Week. The PTO also maintains a “favorite things” list for the staff,
if a custom gift is being considered. Please email [email protected] for a copy
of this list.
Additionally, there will be an End of Year GiftCrowd link that we will circulate next week for
another convenient gift giving option. Beyond the previously listed options, handmade cards or
gifts, are greatly appreciated.
End of Year Picnic - May 22, 2025
Our next and last big event of the year is the End of Year Picnic! We will have Hubby's Dog
House grilling hot dogs again, cotton candy stations, a DJ, and much more! Food is available for
purchase on MTK here: https://wgkcpto.membershiptoolkit.com/packet/13382
Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast - May 16, 2025
We are very appreciative of our room parents, volunteers, and donors to the Willow Grove PTO
this school year. Please join us as we acknowledge your time and efforts spent this year to
make the school year a success. The Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast will be on May 16th from
9-11am at Reiner Park, 1101 Green Knolls Dr Buffalo Grove, IL. Please note that the day was
shifted from May 9th originally.
