Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week
February 9th - 15th 2025  
​
Every day in education settings, teachers and school staff positively impact the lives of millions of children every day, and their work and impact extends far beyond the boundaries of the classroom.

Teacher / Staff Appreciation Week (TSAW) was initiated by the Canadian Home and School Federation in 1988 and is historically held the week of Valentine Day ( February 14th). 

The purpose of this week is to encourage parents and the wider community to recognize the personal and professional contributions that our teachers and school staff make to children and their education.
 
Every school has dedicated staff members. TSAW lets them know they are appreciated!!

The history..... In the beginning, it was the mothers who organized themselves to support students. A meeting was held on Saturday, September 2, 1922 to discuss the possibility of forming a Provincial organization to promote the welfare of student in education.  Mrs. Alice M. Curtis was the chairperson for this meeting.
ASCA was originally the Alberta Federation of Home and School Associations and was officially organized on March 31, 1929.
 
One of the main objectives of ASCA, from its origin through to today, is that parents are seen as partners in education and they are vital to student success.
The first President of the Alberta Federation of Home and School Associations was Reverend Dr. G.W. Kerby from Calgary.  He also served as President of the National Federation of Home and School and Parent- Teacher Association.
