Celebrate our Heilicher Heroes (Teachers)!
Our teachers have always been our heroes, and during Heilicher@Home they have gone above and beyond. May 4-8 is Teacher Appreciation Week. While we won't be together at school to celebrate our amazing teachers, we still want to recognize them. We are hoping that your family can make a sign, or print and decorate the one attached, to thank teachers for their hard work.
Please take a picture of your family with the sign and send it to Ali Berdass. Ali will create a slide show that will be sent to teachers to show our appreciation. Please submit your photos by tomorrow, Friday, May 1.
Heilicher Giving Match
Heilicher parents Nancy and Neil Fink (our 2020 Annual Benefit honorees) recently recorded thisshort video about what Heilicher means to them and their family. We know that their feelings are shared by so many of you, our parents who are grateful for the support of Heilicher during these unprecedented circumstances.
In the past few weeks, Heilicher has seen an increase in requests for need-based financial assistance. Realistically, we anticipate that this need will continue to grow. At this time, we are looking to our community for help to ensure that Heilicher remains financially secure.
While some of you may be facing your own financial challenges, if you can give please consider
making a contribution to Heilicher at this time. We are honored to be the
recipient of a $10,000 matching gift from the Fink family and two anonymous donors, matching 1:1 any pledge made toward this campaign.
Your gift will help keep our students learning and growing over the coming weeks as we navigate these difficult times together.
