Tell Us What Your Child Loves About Distance Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Staff Appreciation committee is compiling quotes about distance learning from the students to give to teachers this holiday season. This has been a huge change for the teachers as well, and we want them to know what they are doing that is working and that your children are enjoying during this time. Please submit your quotes by this Friday, December 11.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submit your distance learning quotes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee also collected questionnaires from the teachers to help you with ideas for gifts if you want to get them a small token of appreciation.

Giving Tree for Classrooms<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Every year we ask teachers which items they need most for their classrooms. Families can grab a tag and fulfill a classroom need this way. This year most requests are gift cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers can purchase the supplies they need and families will be able to participate without having to leave their homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO PARTICIPATE: check out this Giving Tree for Classrooms sign up<\/a>, grab a tag or more, and have your cards delivered to school through our Gift Card Fundraising Program or through email. More details in the link! Gift Cards are due on 12\/16.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
