Appreciate Your SAS Teachers with a Donation in Their Honor
Today marks the beginning of Teacher Appreciation Week!

Greetings Lifelong Learners,

Now is the perfect time to say a heartfelt "thank you" to our instructors. Over the past few years, they have pivoted to Zoom to meet the challenges of the pandemic and then adapted to constantly changing guidelines when in-person instruction resumed. Throughout the tumult, they ensured that our students continued to engage in lifelong learning. We are thankful for their dedication to their craft and encourage you to express your gratitude in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week.

Honor your favorite SAS instructor(s) by making a fully tax-deductible donation in any amount. On our donation page, identify the names of the SAS instructor(s) to be recognized in the comment section (see image below). We will notify your instructors of the names of every student who pays tribute to them with a "teacher appreciation week" donation. Your name will also appear on our year end donor honor roll.

As an added bonus, every gift made in honor of our teaching staff this week will be matched by an anonymous donor in recognition of our instructors' dedication to SAS!
If you prefer to donate by check, please make it payable to Scarsdale Adult School and write the name(s) of the teacher(s) to be honored in the memo line. Send to:

Scarsdale Adult School
P.O. Box 205
Scarsdale, NY 10583

On behalf of our faculty, board, and staff, thank you for your loyalty and engagement in our community of learners!

Regards,
Jill Serling, Executive Director
