Staff Holiday Gift Online Donations

You are here: Home / News / Staff Holiday Gift Online Donations
Posted on November 19, 2021

This holiday season, let’s come together to show appreciation for the unsung heroes that help our children every day! Our school is not just made up of teachers and students. It’s also a community of faculty and staff that work together to enrich the daily lives of our children.

We know that many families like to give holiday gifts to faculty and staff at the holidays. Instead of worrying about gifting each individual that has influenced your student, we are providing a way for parents to join with other VFES families and contribute collectively – ONLINE – toward a larger gift. The PTO will collect donation from families, and then use the funds to purchase gift cards for the faculty and staff. The PTO will deliver the gifts during the winter luncheon on Thursday, December 23.

HOW TO DONATE: 

Using the online form below, locate the staff or department you wish to donate towards and select your donation amount.  You may choose to make a donation to just one person/department, or as many staff/departments as you like. Simply enter the amount you wish to give to each, and the total amount of your donation will calculate at the bottom of the form. So that the full amount that you’re choosing to donate goes to the staff members/areas you designate, a small online transaction fee will be added to your total that covers the exact cost of  online payments from our payment processor.
