Holiday Faculty and Staff Appreciation Gift!
LAST DAY to contribute is Monday, December 15!!!
This is the only opportunity during the school year to thank the faculty and staff at Speyer with a monetary gift in recognition of their extraordinary work with our children all year!
There are 100+ faculty and staff members and our collective gift is split equally among them. All contributions are anonymous and will be gifted from “The Speyer Parents.”
See “How to Contribute to the All-School Holiday Gift for Faculty & Staff” email from the Parent Association on December 7 for details on how to contribute!
Speyer's Family Handbook states:
"The giving of individual gifts to members of faculty or staff is limited to homemade cards or small homemade items. There is a Holiday Fund Drive, organized by the Speyer PA, during December that allows families to contribute what they feel they can afford to celebrate the teachers and staff of the school. The total amount is then distributed equally among all employees of Speyer before Winter Break. Class parent representatives may also create and organize small mementos as gifts for the grade teachers such as a slideshow or a photo memory book."
