Teacher’s P.E.T. - Teacher’s P.E.T. stands for Pray, Encourage and Treat. Every teacher and staff member at Maranatha has a secret family who will bless them all year. Each family will get reminders throughout the year to bless their Teacher’s P.E.T. on their birthday, holidays, and Teacher Appreciation Week. Teacher Appreciation Week is in May and that is when the secret family reveals themselves to the teacher or staff member.
