It’s the Season of Giving. For the winter quarter, we reaffirmed our commitment to supporting families and educators with a quarterly season of giving. On December 18th, we will host a wrapping party for our Quarterly Business Meeting AND Connect and Grow event. We will wrap gifts for our adopted family and collect donations for our adopted classroom. All donations are tax-deductible. Solano Elementary School in the Osborn School District will host this amazing event for us. The Principal is Lisa Norwood, the current President of Phoenix ABSE. We wanted to use this opportunity to align our initiative with the NABSE priority #3, “Educator Recognition Programs”.
As a part of our QUARTERLY commitment to giving, we are adopting a family from a local school.
But wait we’re not done yet!!!
We are ALSO adopting a classroom to support educators and students. Because we know that around the middle of the year classroom supplies dwindle, your motivation slumps, and the kids go bananas, we decided to adopt a classroom of a local educator. Even if you are NOT a classroom teacher, nominate a classroom in your school choice. If you aren’t selected this quarter, re-apply in Spring Quarter.
Eligibility:
- Only current, financial memebers are eligible to make nominations for families or classrooms. [If you are not yet a member click here to join or renew your dues. Dues are just $30 for the current Fiscal Year. These Dues help us to be able to support eligible families/classrooms in need.]
- The family or classroom teacher has transportation to the school to receive the donations [we will give all of the gifts to the family at the school for safety and security purposes]
- The member nominating the family or classroom MUST attend the November 20th meeting (no exceptions)
We will use a random drawing to select all families and classrooms on November 20th. This ensures equity and fairness for all. After the meeting, the selected member will be notified by email. If you have any questions, please email the Membership Chair, Idenna Russell.
