Staff Appreciation Committee

The Staff Appreciation Committee (SAC) offers parents the opportunity to recognize the LLF teachers and staff in a formal way for the expert and tender care they provide. Each year, through your donations, this committee has shown support and appreciation on behalf of all the LLF parents through a variety of ways such as observing staff birthdays with a small gift, themed breakfasts and luncheons, gift cards, personalized gifts for the holidays, tokens of gratitude during Teacher Appreciation Week, and more. It is important that we recognize and thank those who spend time caring for and teaching our children—being there for them for comfort and guidance when we cannot.

We invite you to join us on the Staff Appreciation Committee. The SAC is an easy and fun way to be involved in the LLF community! Joining SAC as a committee member means we will add you to our email list, and you can commit to leading or supporting one or more activities as your schedule allows. We would love to have you join us and would appreciate any amount of time you can give.
