News+Center: Tuesday November 28th is Giving Tuesday

Posted bybacegroovePosted inGiving

Give tomorrow – Tuesday, November 28th!  

Center School relies on your support.

Donations from our families fund essential programs that the Department of Education budget does not. Each year, the PTA spends over $700 per child. Please consider a donation in this amount, but every donation is appreciated. Whether you give $20 or $2,000, every dollar counts! Our goal is 100% family participation.

Giving Tuesday Contest

After Black Friday and Cyber Monday, begin the holiday season with a focus on charitable giving. The Tuesday after Thanksgiving, November 28th, is a global day of giving. To commemorate that day, we’re having a school-wide contest. Any family that has donated to Center School from the beginning of the school year through GivingTuesday will be counted.

  • Top 2 advisories who have the most families participate will win!
  • The prize is a pizza party for the two advisory classes. 

Holidays are a time for Family and Friends

Even if you can’t be with your family this year, you can be together in spirit. Ask grandparents, friends and family to help support our school. What a great holiday gift! Families can: Donate to our annual pledge drive

Double Your Gift!

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. If you’d like help determining your company’s matching status, you can reach out to centerschoolptatreasurer@gmail.com
