Teacher Blessings

As we all prepare our hearts and homes for the upcoming Christmas season, the Parent Association (PA) prepares to honor our teachers with Teacher Blessings.

Although our goal is to collect at least $25.00 from each student, we ask that you contribute only what you can after prayerful consideration. If you are able to give more, that would be wonderful! The cash gift is collected and divided amongst all of our teachers as well as our hourly staff members.
