4-H Club Initiates Teacher Appreciation Breakfast


On Wednesday June 3rd, 190 teachers, staff and bus drivers from the Moravia School District were treated to breakfast and an outpouring of gratitude from students, parents and a variety of youth groups. Led by the Millard Fillmore 4-H Club, the event brought together the work of Girl Scout Troops 241, 432 and 1020, Daisy Girls 1040, Moravia FFA, APT, MCS Sports Boosters and the Millard Fillmore 4-H Club. These groups worked collaboratively during the month before the event to recruit donations and food and prepare favors for the guests of honor.

As a thank you for all of the time and dedication that district staff give to students, youth hand-made origami boxes filled with home-made truffles for each of the teachers, staff members and bus drivers. The youth groups also made posters for each of the schools and bus garage – with slogans like “Teachers Rock” and “We love our bus drivers.” FFA donated 20 hanging baskets as door prizes for staff. Breakfast items, including bagels, coffee cakes, yogurt, fruit, western egg omelet, juice and coffee, were made by caring families throughout the district.

Teachers and staff were touched by the kindness of this event. Comments like, “we never had anything like this before” and “what a great way to start the day” filled the morning. Plans are already in place to host another Teacher/Staff Appreciation Breakfast next year.

The event would not have been possible without the collaboration and services of local businesses including: Red Apple, Kinney Drugs, Modern Market, Kendra's Culinary Creations, New York Pizzeria, Wal-Mart, Dee Dee's, and Donovan Luksa.
