Hello Southgate Families and Community Partners,
Next week (May 4-8) is National Teacher Appreciation Week, and our school is celebrating with a fun, fairytale-themed week honoring our teachers and staff. We need your help! Here are two ways we'd love to have you help us celebrate our incredible staff during our Enchanted Staff Appreciation Week:
1) Pixie Prize Pool Raffle - Donations
As part of the celebration, we're hosting lighthearted raffle drawings where staff members can win creative coupons/prizes donated by local businesses and families. We would be honored to include your family and/or business.
The prize can be simple and fun, for example:
- A free appetizer or complimentary dessert
- A free coffee or specialty drink
- A percentage-off coupon
- A small gift card or gift certificate
- Lottery tickets, Movie tickets, Event tickets
- Small gifts of appreciation
- Creative ideas or gifts
2) Thank You Letters
Please use this Well Wish Scrolls link to submit shoutouts and notes of appreciation for our amazing Southgate staff members electronically. Or pick up free printed scrolls at the front office to write on. Feel free to submit as many as you'd like! The more the better! All notes will be printed and delivered to the individuals during appreciation week next week (May 4-8).

If you'd like to participate, please drop off prizes and notes at the front office. If you have questions, cool ideas, or own a business that you'd like recognized, please send an email with your logo or details to lois.ellison@southgate.kyschools.us.

Congratulations to our fifth grader, Oliver! He participated in the WCPO Region 1 Spelling Bee with the best spellers from across the tri-state in grades 4-8. Oliver made it to the 3rd round and came in 10th in the region. Pretty impressive!!
