The SPPS PTO is proud to host the 2nd Annual Teacher Christmas Wish List event. We have asked each teacher to list their current needs/wants in the classroom. This project provides a way for families & the parish community to express their gratitude and support for our teachers. The event will run for the next 4 weeks from December 7th – 31st. If you would like to participate in this event here are some guidelines to follow:
- We have established an event coordinator for your convenience. Jill Hammes, PTO President, will be your point of contact. Her contact information is as follows:
Cell Phone: 785-294-1360 Home Phone: 785-334-2448 Email: jjhammes@hotmail.com
Please contact Jill if you have any of the following needs:
- Any questions regarding the event
- You would like to purchase a specific item off a teacher’s wish list. She will be able to tell you if the item has already been purchased & can direct you to other options available.
- Non-specific Monetary Donation – you do not have a specific item you would like to purchase but instead simply want to make a donation towards the event. These donations will be compiled and then split evenly amongst all the teachers. They can then use those funds to purchase items on their wish list.
- School families – please mark the envelope as “Teacher Wish List” and turn it into the school office.
- Parish Community – please mark the envelope as “Teacher Wish List” and put it in the collection basket or drop it off to Marian Rottinghaus at the parish office.
- Please make checks payable to “SPPS PTO”. If you make a cash donation and would like a receipt or would like a donation statement sent to you for tax purposes please contact Jill Hammes and she will be happy to assist you.
We are so blessed to have such wonderful teachers educating our children. They truly love and care about their students and often sacrifice time away from their own families for the betterment of our students, school & community. We hope you find this event a fun and beneficial way to say “Thank You!” for all that they do through the year. Thank you for your continued support of our school and have a blessed & Merry Christmas!
Sincerely,
SPPS PTO
