Do you believe in your child’s school and want to see it succeed for years to come?

Become a school financial sponsor.

If the school is in acquisition stages of a new building, there could be opportunities to purchase a brick, a plaque or other planned giving. If not, call the school and inquire of current needs or make a suggestion close to your heart. Your gift could result in the purchase of new dictionaries, technology, playground equipment, and more.

Schools that offer school sponsorships at varying donation levels also make it easy for families who want to group gift teachers and staff this time of year.

I mean, c’mon, how many coffee cups and tree ornaments can a teacher actually use? A financial contribution to the school in support of the faculty and quality programming, that’s something to celebrate!

Suppose dozens of cookies and high calorie holiday food can have a long term effect as well as having more funds for better programming. But the second option is likely favored by most teachers.
