A Week of Gratitude: MHS Booster Club Celebrates Teacher Appreciation Week

From May 4–8, the Mammoth High School Booster Club will once again honor the incredible teachers, coaches, and staff who support our students every day with a full Teacher Appreciation Week—a thoughtful, community-powered celebration designed to bring a little joy, comfort, and recognition to campus.

Following the success of past appreciation events, this spring’s celebration expands beyond a the holiday luncheon into an entire “Week of Gratitude,” with something special planned for staff each day.

Each day offers a unique opportunity for staff to pause, connect, and feel appreciated:

• Monday: Freshly baked biscuits and fresh fruit to start the week on a warm note

• Tuesday: A coffee and herbal tea station to keep everyone energized

• Wednesday: A district-provided appreciation lunch courtesy of Mammoth Unified School District

• Thursday: Italian sandwiches and a fresh salad station

• Friday: A “Get Ready for Summer” station to celebrate the season ahead

This weeklong effort is made possible through the coordination of dedicated Booster Club volunteers, led by Theresa Brocia, along with the support of parent volunteers, local business sponsors, and Mammoth Unified School District.

“Teacher Appreciation Week is one of our favorite traditions,” says Theresa. “It’s a simple but meaningful way for us to recognize the people who show up for our students every single day. We want them to feel supported not just in words, but in action.”

By spreading appreciation throughout the week, the Booster Club hopes to create multiple moments of connection and care—whether it’s grabbing a quick cup of coffee between classes, enjoying a shared meal, or simply taking a breath in a welcoming space.

Events like this reflect the Booster Club’s ongoing commitment to supporting not just student programs, but the educators and staff who make those programs possible. Their dedication shapes the experience of every Mammoth High student, and this week is just one small way of saying thank you.

As always, these efforts are powered by the broader Mammoth Lakes community. Your continued support—through memberships, sponsorships, and volunteerism—helps make initiatives like Teacher Appreciation Week possible.

Here’s to a week of gratitude for those who give so much, all year long. 💛
