Appreciation Program

FALA Volunteer Corps

When someone does something good, it should be acknowledged…!

Team Captain: Stephanie Kohnen
(602) 245-0144 or swkohnen@gmail.com

Last year, FALA parent Alisa Ashley and a group of devoted volunteers launched the Appreciation Program with amazing results. Thank you for all your creativity and energy!

For the 2017/2018 school year, organization has been handed off to new FALA parent Stephanie Kohnen.

Our Goal

Our aim is to invite the FALA community to participate in a few Appreciation Events throughout the year. Providing food for faculty on Professional Development Meeting days and Appreciation Gifts will be the initial focus.

Want to get involved?

Help with a Faculty Meal or Treat: Word on the street is that gifts of food really brighten the day of FALA teachers. Keep an eye out for Sign-up Genius for food requests. (Send a food item to school or help set up if you have a little time.)
Contribute to Appreciation Gifts: Look for Sign-up Genius to make a donation to be included in gifts for FALA’s fabulous faculty & staff. Or sign up to help assemble the gifts!
Share Your Ideas: Have a great idea for a faculty treat or creative gift? Know someone who deserves a special thank you? Email Stephanie at swkohnen@gmail.com. As a newcomer to FALA, she appreciates your insights.

A little goodwill goes a long way!
