Our Teachers & Staff
At Banyan, our teachers and staff are at the heart of everything we do. They inspire, guide, and nurture our students every day, and the PTA is committed to showing our appreciation and support throughout the school year.
This page is a central hub for information about our amazing educators. Here, you’ll find:
A complete list of teachers and staff
Their contact information
A list of their favorite things which is perfect for when you want to surprise them with a thoughtful gift for birthdays, holidays, Teacher Appreciation Week, or just to say “thank you”
For Room Parents:
This page is a quick, easy link you can share with your class when sending communications about teacher gifts or appreciation opportunities. Having this resource in one place helps families personalize their gestures and lets our teachers know just how valued they are.
The PTA believes that when we support our teachers, we strengthen our entire school community. This page is just one small way we can make it easier for families to give back to those who give so much to our children.
