PCA Faculty Appreciation Day

“The smallest thanks is always worth more than the effort it takes to give it”

As we are coming to the end of this academic year, we would like to take the time to show our appreciation to all the teachers, office administrators, and all support staff. On Tuesday, April 23rd PCA will be hosting its annual Faculty Appreciation Day lunch to show our appreciation to the AISC teachers and support staff.

Last year, we hosted the event by providing home cooked  food for the teaching and administrative staff. This was greatly enjoyed and appreciated by them. We would like to follow the same approach this year. We will be serving a total of 250 teachers, teaching assistants, and administrative support staff.

Additionally, the PCA will be serving 180 support staff at AISC a Biryani lunch and traditional Indian sweets.

We request our parent community to support us for the event with a dish(s) to serve 8-10 servings. For example, a bowl of pasta salad, pan of lasagna, batch of cookies, etc.

Lunch will be served for teachers from 11:30am - 1:30pm. The venue will be announced closer to the date.

Please work with your country group to ensure we have enough food to go around for all. Once you have decided what you want to bring please sign up.
