Faculty and Staff- Christmas Gift Giving
It is that time of year for faculty and staff gift giving! We wanted to provide several suggestions to our Saints families when gifting our staff. Monetary gifts may be turned into the front office in an envelope labeled “Faculty and Staff Christmas Gifts”. A suggested amount of $10 per teacher is a great contribution for the gift cards purchased with these collective funds. For families wishing to give an actual gift, we have a book in the front office that describes teacher “favorites” to inspire those wishing to shop. The book may be viewed during normal office hours. Thank you for remembering our faculty and staff this Christmas.
