The PTO is offering a Holiday Gift Card Program to say "Thank You for all you've done & Happy Holidays" to all of our Cushing teachers, staff and bus drivers. Participation is optional.
Here’s how the program works:
You make a monetary contribution to the teacher/staff members and bus driver of your choice. Your child’s gift is then combined with all other contributions for that particular staff member and the staff member will be presented with one BIG gift card to the stores of their choosing. The gift cards will be presented in a Thank You card that contains the names (NOT the amounts!) of all the families who contributed to the gift.
THIS IS A 2 STEP PROCESS:
STEP 1: Complete this form. Please make sure to complete your family name (EXAMPLE: SMITH FAMILY) then select the teachers you'd like to give to and list the dollar amount (MUST be WHOLE dollar increments - no change please, $1, $3, $5, $10, $20, etc.).
Then total up your order.
Any amount is appreciated!
*Program runs until Wednesday, December 8th*
