Christmas Cards for Schools

Gifts

  • In light of the current recession and the general financial challenges which are being experienced by many families we would respectfully request that families discontinue the thoughtful practice of sending gifts to teachers this Christmas.  In making this request we acknowledge with gratitude the generosity of families to us down through the years.  We also ask that children do not exchange gifts or cards in school.
