Christmas Angel Program

This is a program run by our School Parent Association with two goals:
1. Make it easy for a family to recognize and gift a teacher or staff person for Christmas.
2. Provide a Merry Christmas message to that staff member.

Letters went out in kids back packs last Friday. Basically this is how it works.  You give a cash gift to be joined with other cash gifts for a certain staff member.  The staff member knows you gave but doesn’t know the amount as it is all combined together. Our School Parent Association also gives so that each and every staff member gets something.

Please know that this is OPTIONAL and staff members do NOT expect any gifts.

Sweepstakes Tickets

K-8 families – 30 tickets.
Preschool families (with no K-8 kids) – 10 tickets.
Tickets are $10 each.

This is 2nd of our 3 required fundraisers. The ticket sales/drawing is not until the end of January.
You can offer them to family and friends in the holiday weeks ahead.
