Families of Saint Andrew School
Holiday Gift Collection for Teachers and Staff
Please join us in supporting the 10th annual
ALL SCHOOL HOLIDAY GIFT COLLECTION.
The ALL SCHOOL HOLIDAY GIFT COLLECTION is the collection of monetary contributions by school families which are pooled and distributed among all of the teachers, administrative staff, and support personnel (maintenance, lunch staff, extended day and crossing guards), with the significant portion going to the teachers.
This school-wide collection is in lieu of individual classroom gifts or individual family gifts. In 2011 over 80% of school families contributed to the gift collection.
The amount of your contribution is at your discretion and will be kept confidential. Any amount contributed is appreciated and may be tax-deductible. Last year, the average contribution was $52 per family.
The disbursement of the funds remains the same as in years past. In general, the disbursement to the teacher and staff works as follows. Teachers and aides for Transitions through JrK receive the pooled contribution that their individual classes made. Teachers and staff for grades K-8 and the remainder of the school receive a disbursement from the contributions pooled from the parents of students in grades K-8.
Gift Presentation ~ each teacher and staff person will receive a gift bag including an ornament, candy and any drawings, cards or a letter from your student on the last day of school before the holiday break. Please submit any cards for teacher(s) / staff directly to your Room Parent by December 14, 2012.
