Owens Elementary took Teacher Appreciation Week to a whole new level with an epic, Mr. Beast-style competition that had staff battling it out in daily games, all while being showered with love from students, parents, and the PTA!
Every day brought a new challenge—from sneaky rounds of Marshmallow Assassin to intense BINGO showdowns—giving teachers the chance to earn points and claim a spot in the grand finale. On Friday, the top ten point earners faced off in The Eagle Games, a high-energy, Minute to Win It-style competition held in front of a packed crowd of cheering students. The cafeteria was buzzing with excitement as teachers raced the clock and each other in a hilarious test of skills and speed.
When the excitement settled, Mrs. Norris emerged victorious, scoring a prize pack that included a $100 massage gift card, $50 restaurant gift card, and $10 coffee gift card—all donated by the PTA—plus a whopping $350 from Owens to spend in her classroom! Ms. Horchler snagged second place, earning $100 in classroom funds and a $50 restaurant gift card.
But the competition was just one part of a week full of gratitude. Teachers were absolutely spoiled with a pizza and salad lunch from the PTA, a spud and salad bar courtesy of Texas Roadhouse, and sweet surprise treats from admin—including breakfast, popsicles, coffee, and more. Parents went all out to show their love, making sure every teacher felt valued and celebrated.
Owens Elementary didn’t just appreciate their teachers—they made sure they felt like rock stars all week long. It was a week of laughter, cheers, and Eagle pride to remember!
