Staff Holiday Gift Donations

You are here: Home / News / Staff Holiday Gift Donations
Posted on November 18, 2022

As we approach the holiday season, let’s come together to help those unsung heroes who help our children on a daily basis.  Our school is not just made up of teachers and children; it is a community that works together to ensure our children feel safe and secure while they are at school.  It is made up of cafeteria workers, custodial staff, librarians, nurses, support teachers, school office workers – just to name a few.

Instead of worrying about individually gifting these staff members, the PTO is asking you to join with other families at VFES and contribute towards a larger gift.  We will take care of purchasing the gift certificates and distributing to the staff members. 

Here’s how it works: 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. Please remember that this solicitation is completely voluntary.  A card will be given to each recipient signed, “Thank you for all you do to make Valley Forge Elementary School a wonderful place to learn and to grow!  From your grateful Valley Forge Families”.
