Honor your favorite teacher with donation

Honor a teacher or any school staff member during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 2-8, with a donation to the Greater St. Charles Education Foundation's Tribute Program.

Your donation will have special meaning to the recipient, and is a way to convey your gratitude. A donation to the Tribute Program makes a great end of the year gift, too.

When a contribution of $5 or more is given to the foundation in honor of a teacher or staff person, an attractive certificate with your personal message will be sent to the individual you designate. The amount of the tax-deductible donation will be kept confidential.

Your monetary contribution will help the foundation enhance education for the students of District 303 through program grants to administrators and faculty, educational honorariums and college scholarships.

The foundation has also equipped each district school with several state-of-the art media carts and provided partial funding for the biannual St. Charles Literature Festival. Since its inception in 1992, the foundation has donated more than $1,000,000 to support District 303 students.

Donation forms are available on the foundation's website, stceducation.com. If you have any questions about the Tribute Program, e-mail info@stceducation.com.
