TEACHER & STAFF HOLIDAY GIFT DRIVE
BASIS Scottsdale Primary teachers and staff work hard throughout the year guiding and inspiring our children to be successful achievers. That's why the
BSP Boosters Club holds a Holiday Gift Drive
each year to thank them for their dedication during the Holiday Season.
We are counting on your support to help show your appreciation for BSP teachers and staff with a
donation to the Teachers & Staff Holiday Gift Drive
.
Your monetary donation will be added to a collection of funds from fellow BSP families, and distributed to teachers and staff at their annual holiday party on December 21st.
Donation deadline is Monday, December 18th!
In
addition, teachers will receive a list with the names of students/families whose families contributed. If student name is different than the donation payee, please e-mail your students name to
bspb.chair@gmail.com
This Gift Drive is separate from the Annual Teacher Fund. Money raised by the BSP Boosters Holiday Gift Drive will be given on behalf of all our families on December 21st. In contrast, the Annual Teacher Fund is held to close the funding gap between charter and traditional public schools, and is distributed in the form of pay bonuses by the school administration.
Because BASIS policy prohibits teachers from accepting gifts of anything other than nominal value, this is your BEST way to give your teachers a holiday gift and cross it off your holiday "to-do" list!
There are 2 ways that you can donate:
2. Put your check in an envelope clearly marked “BSP Boosters” and drop it in the BSP Boosters mailbox located in the lobby of the school front office. Make checks payable to the BASIS Scottsdale Primary Boosters Club, with a notation in the memo line: "Holiday Gift Collection".
Thank you for recognizing our amazing teachers and BSP staff this holiday season!

A FALL FESTIVAL THANK YOU!!!
Thank you to all who were able to join us at our 2nd Annual Fall Festival this year! We had a great turn-out with 175 wristbands sold and just over 400 attendees.
Rockstar Hot Dogs
provided delicious food and
Mojo Yogurt
was there to satisfy our sweet tooth! The kids all tired themselves out on all of the inflatables/games brought by Arizona Inflatables and the carnival booths were a hit, once again! Thank you DJ Rishi, our amazing DJ from BASIS Scottsdale for providing the fresh, fun soundtrack for our event, and to our event sponsors that made our Festival possible! We are very grateful for your support!
