The CHEER! program is back by popular demand. The end of the school year is a great time to Celebrate and Honor Exceptional Educators with CHEER!.
C.H.E.E.R! for EducationThank that special someone with a donation that gives back!
Are you looking for a way to say“Thank You”to a particular teacher, school staff member or other friend of education? The Canton Education Foundation offers a way to recognize these special people through theC.H.E.E.R!program.
When you make a donation to C.H.E.E.R!, the Canton Education Foundation sends a specially-designed certificate to the honoree with the donor’s name included. The minimum is $10 per honoree, but no mention of the donation amount is made to your honoree(s). All proceeds from this program will directly benefit the Canton community through grants that fund innovative and creative educational projects in our schools and throughout our community. Honoring a special educator is a great way to say “Thank You.”
Teachers, bus drivers, custodians, nurses, secretaries, librarians, administrators, room parents, Canton employees and volunteers can all be honored.
Please consider contributing to the Canton Education Foundation in honor of that special person who has helped make a difference in your life or the life of your child.
