OCCS Christmas Teacher/Staff Appreciation Program:
As we begin to think about blessing others this Christmas season, the OCCS Christmas Teacher/Staff Appreciation Program provides families with a simple system to give a gift to the OCCS teachers & staff that have blessed our children's lives.
Attached is list of all OCCS teachers and staff , and you will simply list how much money you would like to gift a person. You choose which staff members you'd like to give to and the amount. It can be as much or as little as you'd like. Simply enter a dollar amount by the staff member's name who you'd like to give to. You do not need to give to everyone.
At Christmas time, the total amount of gifts is added for each teacher/staff, and they receive a certificate to shop the TRIP Office for gift cards of their choice in the total amount that was gifted. The amount donated by each individual family is anonymous, but each teacher/staff is given a list of all families who contributed to their gift.
Participation in this program is voluntary, and the amount of participation is up to you. Please submit your form online and turn in your payment to the office before December 7, 2023. (Please put payment in a sealed envelope and clearly marked "Staff Appreciation.") Make checks out to Tiger PAWS, and all gifts are non-tax deductible.
This program does not replace the student gifts already given to teachers & staff which are provided through the OCCS General Fund / student registration fees. Every parent contributes $4 per student when paying your registration fees, and this money funds the gifts the GLC purchases for the teacher's birthday, teacher appreciation day, new baby, Christmas, etc. Many parents like to give a small gift in addition to this at Christmas, which is what this new program aims to help with. It provides a convenient way to show your appreciation, not only to your child’s head teacher, but also to other teachers and staff that are a part of your children’s daily lives at OCCS.
