Contribute Online to Gifts of Gratitude
Gifts of Gratitude was established by the Home and School Association as a united effort to provide monetary gifts to teachers and staff members at Christmas and the end of year to thank them for all they do for our children.
Why participate?
This is a convenient way for families to make sure that each teacher, aide, and staff member who touches your child's life is recognized for all they do at St. Brigid. Instead of several small gifts from each student, each teacher and staff member will receive a monetary gift that they choose how to use - whether they want to splurge on themselves or help with their own family's expenses.
What if I already participated at Christmas?
If your family donated to the Gifts of Gratitude program at Christmas time, no need to donate again! We only ask for each family to donate once each year.
Oops...I can't remember, did I already contribute this year?
If you are unsure if you already contributed for this year, just email
Stacy Austin (
[email protected])
, Amy Creekmur (
[email protected])
or Laura Farnham (
[email protected])
and they will let you know.
How much do I give?
The suggested annual gift amount is $25 per child; however, any amount is graciously accepted!
What's the deadline?
Please contribute by May 10, 2019 for the year-end gifts.
