Help Us Celebrate Our Amazing Teachers & Staff!
November is the season of thankfulness, and at Clio Area Schools, we have SO much to be grateful for!
Behind every successful student is a team of dedicated teachers and staff who go above and beyond to make a difference. From the teacher who takes extra time to help a struggling student to the staff member who offers a comforting smile or a helping hand, these everyday acts of kindness deserve to be recognized!
We're inviting our Mustang families, students, and community members to share a Note of Gratitude for a teacher or staff member who has made a positive impact.
• Has someone gone the extra mile for your child?
• Is there a teacher who has inspired, encouraged, or believed in your student?
• Is there a staff member whose kindness has made your family's experience special?
Tell us about them! Your heartfelt words could be just what someone needs to hear, and we'll be sharing your messages throughout November to celebrate the incredible people who make our district shine!
📝 Submit your Note of Gratitude here: https://forms.gle/oURC6cW94fhUn5M67
Let's fill this month with appreciation, kindness, and Mustang pride! Because sometimes the simplest words — THANK YOU mean the most. 🧡🖤
