C.H.E.E.R.! for Appreciation
Looking for an end-of-the-year appreciation idea? Consider making a
donation to the Canton Education Foundation in honor of a teacher,
school bus driver, custodian, nurse, secretary, librarian,
administrator, room parent or school volunteer.
Called, “Celebrate and Honor Exceptional EducatoRs,” the
foundation’s new C.H.E.E.R! program honors those who give to the
school community.
Whether you want to say “thank you” to a particular teacher, school
staff member or another friend of education, the C.H.E.E.R! program
offers you a way to recognize people who have made a difference in
your child’s or students’ life.
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 donation is $10 per
honoree, but no mention of the donation amount is made to your
honoree(s). All proceeds will benefit the Canton community through
grants that fund innovative and creative educational programs in the
schools and throughout the community. Flyers will be handed out at
the Panera Bread fundraiser on June 18 or you can print one through
the Canton Education Foundation website at
www.cantoneducationfoundation.org
