We’re planting a digital garden of "thank yous" for every teacher in Branchburg. Let’s make it bloom!

Steps:

1. Pick a Teacher: Click on the school & then grade level/teaching assignment to find your teacher’s "plot" in the list below.

2. Plant a Video: Hit the (+) button and tap the Video Recorder.

3. Watch it Bloom: Record a 10 to 30 second shout-out, save it to the wall, and help us surprise our staff!

Quick Tips for the Best Video:

• Go Wide: Turn your phone sideways (Landscape mode) so there are no black bars!

• Chase the Light: Face a window so we can see those bright smiles.

• The 1-Second Rule: Wait one second after hitting "Record" before you start talking so we don't miss your first word!

Privacy & Confidentiality:
We know how important privacy is. Every Padlet is set to Private to protect both staff and student confidentiality.

• Individual Access: Only the person posting the video can see, edit, or remove their own post.

• Special Delivery: On May 29th, the Digital Garden will be "harvested." The Padlets will be taken down and sent directly to each individual staff member as a private, permanent gift of gratitude.

Three Ways to Support the Celebration

Beyond the videos, we have a full calendar of events planned—from "Taco Tuesdays" to staff room refreshes. If you would like to help us fuel our teachers, here is how you can get involved:

• DONATE: Help us fund our catered lunches and raffles via Zeffy. Every dollar goes directly toward staff appreciation events.

• SHOP: Support our specific event needs by purchasing items from our Amazon Wishlist. These supplies go directly to restocking faculty rooms and decorating our schools.

• VOLUNTEER: We need a few helping hands at each school to help with setup, serving, and cleanup. Sign up for a shift here: Teacher Appreciation Volunteers May 2026!
