For
Teacher
Appreciation
Week,
Cedar
Point
Elementary
School
went
all
out
in
full
force
to
recognize
teachers
and
staff
members
in
"Star
Wars"
fashion,
thanks
to
the
amazing
coordination
of
Heather
Ball,
a
parent
and
member
of
the
Parent
Teacher
Organization
(PTO).
Each
day
had
a
Star
Wars
theme,
starting
Monday
off
as
"'YODA'
best,"
sending
your
teacher
a
message
of
appreciation,
Tuesday
as
"May
the
Fourth
be
with
you,"
a
spirit
day
to
wear
your
favorite
Star
Wars
character
costume,
on
Wednesday
"'LEIA'
a
compliment,"
giving
teachers
and
staff
compliments
all
day,
for
Thursday,
"'BB8'
a
snack,"
bring
a
small
prepackaged
treat
to
your
teacher,
and
finally
Friday,
"You
'R2D2'
cool
for
school,"
a
chance
for
the
Thursday-Friday
students
to
dress
up
in
Star
Wars
gear
as
well.
For
"May
the
Fourth
be
with
you"
day,
Principal
Mark
Marinoble
dressed
in
a
storm
trooper
outfit,
accompanied
by
Assistant
Principal
Matthew
Meyer
dressed
as
Darth
Vader.
They
greeted
students
at
morning
drop
off
and
visited
classrooms.
To
make
Teacher
Appreciation
Week
special,
Ball
took
the
time
to
visit
local
businesses
to
ask
if
they
would
like
to
sponsor
Cedar
Point
Elementary
for
Teacher
Appreciation
Week
and
contribute
gifts
to
the
raffle
prize.
Every
little
token
of
appreciation
counts,
and
even
in
a
tough
year
for
businesses,
local
businesses
donated
gift
certificates
to
their
restaurants,
and
Target
stocked
the
refrigerator
in
the
teacher's
lounge
with
a
wide
variety
of
beverages.
Thanks
to
the
Cedar
Point
PTO,
each
teacher
received
a
$15
dollar
gift
card
to
Amazon,
and
a
boxed
lunch
from
Jersey
Mike's.
Ball
has
had
four
students
attend
Cedar
Point,
with
two
fourth
graders
and
a
fifth
grader
currently
attending.
She
had
her
kids
come
up
with
clever
names
for
treats
included
in
gift
bags
such
as
"Wookiee-cookies,
Luke-lollipops,
and
Rolo-Solos."
She
shared,
"I've
been
so
privileged
to
have
my
children
attend
Cedar
Point.
It's
just
a
great
environment,
great
teachers-I
haven't
met
anyone
I
didn't
like,
and
they
treat
your
kids
like
they're
their
kids.
I
love
planning
Teacher
Appreciation
Week
and
spoiling
people
who
are
so
hardworking.
I
want
my
kids
to
recognize
their
teachers
work
very
hard
and
to
remember
to
say
thank
you."
