Hello!

 We’re inviting our Portales Schools parents and staff who own local businesses to help us celebrate our amazing employees during Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week, May 5–9, 2026.

 This is a special time to thank everyone who works tirelessly for our students—from our teachers to our bus drivers and custodians. Your business can help us show our employees how much they are valued.

 Any gesture, big or small, makes a difference! You might consider offering a special discount for our staff or donating an item. This appreciation is a powerful way to thank them for their dedication and encourage them to stay in Portales.

 If you're able to help, we will share a list of all participating businesses with our 450 employees. We appreciate your consideration and your ongoing support of our schools and community.

Thank you, and remember, it’s great to be a Portales Ram!
