Dear Parents of Willow River,
National Teacher Appreciation week is coming, May 2 – 6. The Parent Group has created a committee to organize efforts to show our teachers and staff at Willow River our appreciation for all that they do. We are sponsoring a Teacher and Staff Breakfast on Monday, May 2, a Taco Lunch on Tuesday May 3 and Root Beer Floats on Wednesday May 4.
We are asking that the Kindergarten-2nd grade families provide the Breakfast items. They will need to be delivered to the school on Monday, May 2 by 7:15 a.m. We will have someone directing you to the teachers lounge for drop off of food.
· 6 Families to donate one dozen muffins or bagels
· 4 Families to provide baked bread (banana, chocolate chip, etc)
· 4 Families to donate fresh fruit (5 lb bags of apples, oranges, bananas)
· 4 Families to donate large containers of cream cheese
We are asking for families with children in 3rd-5th grade to provide the following items for a
Taco Lunch on Tuesday, May 3. All food needs to be dropped off by 10:30 am. You may send
it to school with your child and then they can drop it off in the office.
Hamburger: 6 Families to donate 2 pounds of cooked/seasoned taco meat
Black beans: 2 Families to provide 2 large cans of black beans, rinsed and opened
Shredded cheese: 2 Families to donate 4-5 pound bags

Anyone wishing to help contribute to our Root Beer Floats may do so. The ice cream and root
beer will need to be turned into the office on Wednesday , May 4 by 1:00.
