Ditch the Stress of Individual Teacher Gifts! The Winter Holiday Gifting Solution for Busy Parents.

Instead of running around shopping for multiple teacher gifts, scrambling to find the perfect present, or feeling overwhelmed by holiday gift-giving expectations, we've created a simple way to show your appreciation that takes ZERO extra effort.

The Howard School Parents Association Holiday Gifting Program is your one-stop solution to express gratitude to the amazing educators and staff who care for your children every single day.

Why This Is the Perfect Gift for Parents: one simple donation = recognition for EVERYONE who supports your child

Most Howard School students interact with at least eight teachers and staff members daily. Our Holiday Gifting initiative ensures every single staff member feels appreciated – from lead teachers to maintenance personnel, from counselors to receptionists.

100% of donations are equitably distributed among ALL Howard School employees, creating a meaningful "thank you" from our entire parent community.

Bonus This Year: Every participating family gets to sign a digital card that will be shared with all staff members – a collective expression of gratitude that takes just moments of your time.

Let's make showing appreciation as easy as possible this holiday season! Brighten the holidays for the incredible individuals who make your children's school days extraordinary – without adding another task to your already full plate.
