Teacher Appreciation Week 2026 Recap: Friday

Friday, May 15th 2026, was the final day of our annual Teacher Appreciation Week at Clifford!

The overall theme for the week was All Around the World, where we made our teachers and staff feel like they were traveling the world on vacation. Each day was a different location where thematic food & drinks were served, along with festive decor. We also provided gifts and had fun activities to celebrate our teachers every day.

Our destination for Friday? The Phillipines!

  • 🍛 Pancit, beef steak, fish, pan de sal from Lutong Bahay

  • 🍋‍🟩 Virgin margaritas

  • 📷 A balloon arch photo wall

  • 🛍️ Final round of gifts (customized Yeti water bottles!)

  • 🎟️ A raffle of museum & outing passes and other items to give our teachers a mini-staycation

  • 🎺 The grand finale: a surprise mariachi band!

Check out the gallery below for all the images showing our appreciation to Clifford teachers! Thank you for reading.

We’d also like to thank all the parent volunteers who helped organize and set up and clean up this event for our wonderful teachers and staff. We also received very generous donations from families from the larger student body. We couldn’t have done it without all of you. Please support Friends of Clifford so we can continue to make an incredible school environment to share the love we have for Clifford.
