Staff Appreciation Flowers

The Teacher's Lounge was filled to the brim with flowers today as families dropped off bouqets to show their appreciation for RCF's staff. As flowers kept coming in, volunteers filled vases with water, trimmed flowers and added labels and delivered to the grateful staff.

In an RCF tradition, ALL staff get recognized during Appreciation Week, from the principal to the overnight building service workers. The rest of the week kids bring in notes, there is a dessert buffet and short massages.

Staff appreciation luncheon a huge sucess

Thank you to all of the parents -at every grade level- who contributed to the event. The tables were literally full of delicious food including lots of homemade and international dishes! There were: homemade tamales, Indian lemon rice, spinach lasagna, Mexican stew, Cuban beans rice, pasta with pesto, quiche, Napa cabbage salad, Peruvian chickens, Greek salad, rosemary foccacia, sandwiches, beef roast, olive bread, fruit salads, dulce de leche, cheesecake, chocolate, cider, sparkling waters, and much much more! With your $ contributions we were also able to buy ceviche, shrimp, a vege tray, desserts, a bouquet of peppers, and additional serving items that we needed.

At 5 pm, RCF staff members were still stopping in to grab a plate before evening conferences. Additionally, teachers definitely have a lot to enjoy tomorrow! Thank you to the so-many of you who contributed, and a special thanks to Teresa Chavez, Sorayda Carbajal and Rachel Haas who helped set up or serve during the day.

If you left a dish or serving utensil with us, please find them-clean-on the small table in the staff lounge. Please try to collect them on Friday before or after school.

The next Staff Appreciation potluck is on Wednesday, March 3rd and the theme is Italian. Please earmark your favorite recipes for that!
