Throughout the year, the Public Education Foundation encourages the community to support our public schools students and staff. But in the spring, during Teacher Appreciation Week, PEF offers to help.
The annual Thank-A-Teacher and Salute-A-Staff program kicked of April 21 and runs through May 6. By making a thank you donation in honor of any public school educator or support staff, the community will help fund future classroom and teacher grants.
A personal card with a small gift will be sent to each honoree before May 11.
“Through this program, parents, guardians or grandparents support our independent grants and give a unique message of support to the school staff and educators,†said PEF Executive Director Am Walker.
On average, annually PEF awards $10,000 in Excellence in Education grants to 15-18 teachers and schools affecting anywhere from 2,000 to 15,000 students!
Persons wishing to participate can access the Thank-A-Teacher and Salute-A-Staffer form through the “Support Us†page and also the “Home Page†at www.pefevansville.org or can send an
e-mail request to info@pefevansville.org. Donation amounts are confidential. The thank you card will be sent to designated recipients before May 11. School mail may take two days to reach the honoree.
