Gift Crowd - Please Consider Sponsoring a Teacher
As we enter the holiday season, the Parkside PTA has set up a GiftCrowd, for those that would like to send a gift to Parkside teachers and staff. The GiftCrowd page includes all Parkside faculty and staff: https://app.giftcrowd.com/app/join-event/PcRcp83j3z
Families can make direct donations to specific staff members! In order to make sure that ALL of Parkside staff receive some love this holiday season, each non-classroom teacher has been "adopted" by a class.
If you are able, please consider sending a gift to your child's teacher AND the staff member that the class has adopted. You are also invited to send gifts to any additional staff members that have made a difference in your child's life!
Donations can be made online anytime now through December 23 before noon. At 12:00pm on 12/23, the gifts will be sent directly to each staff member via their email with the message you have sent to them when contributing.
