Since our cafeteria and custodial staff members do not all have access to GiftCrowd, we are taking up a separate collection for them, which we will divide the total into equal portions for individual gifts for each of them. This was a huge blessing to them last year!!  To donate, click here. 
 
 
Thank you for joining together to bless our amazing teachers and staff this holiday season!
 


 

CPJH Teachers and Staff Gift Crowd Testimonies

 

 

Gift Crowd Testimonies

 

“The GiftCrowd gift cards given to me from my students through our generous CPJH parents allowed my family to purchase beautiful trees, a plant stand and bunny statues to honor my late mother. This thoughtful gift means so much to our family, and my heart is full knowing that my students helped to make our beautiful memorial plants possible. Thank you, CPJH parents, for such a thoughtful gift!”

- Ms. M

 

 

“I love to get GiftCrowd gift cards!  The best part is that you can choose any gift card that works for you!  In the past, when I have been doing home renovations – I have used it towards a Home Depot gift card.  But you can also get restaurant or Amazon gift cards and order anything you want!  I am so thankful for our amazing students and parents – I am so Blessed to work at CPJHS!”

- Mrs. T

 

“GiftCrowd has been the talk of the coaches office, and it’s always such a great thing to look forward to during the holiday season. It has been such a unique way of giving that I have only seen here at CPJH. It is not only appreciated in the sense of a monetary value, but it also helps provide a little something extra personally for my family underneath the Christmas tree, which may not have necessarily been under there without the PTO GiftCrowd. It is always such a blessing every to receive, and it shows the appreciation that parents and students have for the educators here at CPJH.”

-Coach M

 

“To our wonderful parents and PTO: your generosity towards the teachers and staff here at CPJH is unlike any other school I have worked at. The GiftCrowd gift cards are truly a blessing and is so very much appreciated. I personally allocate much of the funds toward my classroom to replenish my depleted supplies. It truly is so kind to be recognized by parents and I love to read all of the sweet notes many families write each year. THANK YOU!!”

- Mrs. C

 

"My heart will be eternally grateful for the GiftCrowd gift cards I have received over the past few years. The economy is tight and I know not all parents can give, but even the smallest of donations towards a gift card goes a long way to helping me through the holidays. As the primary provider for my family, I can attest that the generous donations provided by my students and their families, means so much."

- Mrs. H

 

“It was such a nice surprise to receive donations from parents through GiftCrowd last year.  Even a $5 gift made it possible for me to get a Starbucks gift card.  I was so grateful that families thought of me!”  

- Mrs. W

 

“GiftCrowd has become one of the most anticipated moments in my year! It's amazing being able to choose a gift that suits my needs perfectly during the holiday season. Over the years, I've used GiftCrowd to purchase gift cards for my loved ones, groceries, and even little treats for myself! But what truly makes GiftCrowd so special is reading the personalized messages from students and families. I treasure these messages and look back on them every year!”  

- Ms. R

 

"This method of sharing gratitude is pretty awesome.  For the past six years I have received numerous emails with GiftCrowd contributions attached.  It’s cool to see student’s pool together to let teachers know how much they are appreciated, that alone is a one of a kind gift.  I’m very grateful for getting such a gift.  I have been able to not only use the gift for myself but also give back to the class.  On a few occasions I put the GiftCrowd contributions toward things that needed replacing in the classroom for the benefit of the class.  Once I forgot I had it and it came in handy for a much needed home project.  As with the Home Project there are a few other items I have that I mention how my students helped make it possible. The concept is great as it minimizes the endless possibilities of getting the right gift for someone yet ensures you are giving the perfect gift."

- Mr. R 

 

"Teachers love GiftCrowd! It's a great way to show appreciation for all we do for your children and we appreciate being able to choose a gift specific to things we like or need. Thank you, parents!"

- Mrs. F

 

"GiftCrowd has been AMAZING to receive from our fantastic CPJH families during the holiday season! This will be my third year here, and every time that we get the opportunity to see our students' and their families' generosity it blows me away! GiftCrowd is one of my favorite things that they do for us because we are able to pick what that money goes towards ourselves. Not that we don't love candy, socks, and mugs from our sweet kiddos, but a gift that we are able to use more specifically to our needs means a lot! We love y'all!" 

- Mrs. G

 

“During the shutdown for Covid, one thing I really missed was going to concerts. So I made a promise to myself to go to more of them. I was able to used my GiftCrowd gift to purchase tickets for myself and a friend to attend two different concerts! It’s so fantastic to be able to have so many different choices through GiftCrowd! Thank you so much PTO & parents!”

-Mrs. S

 

“Each year at CPJH I have been so blessed by the generosity of students and their families with a GiftCrowd surprise. I am thankful that they contribute, as GiftCrowd allows me so many options for spending what is donated to me. It is truly the BEST treat at the end of a semester!” 

-Mrs. L

"The Giftcrowd gift cards are a huge blessing.  It means so much to me to have parents and community members take a few minutes out of their busy holiday schedules to think of us at CPJH.  The generosity from the Cougar community is unlike anything I’ve seen at any other campus I have worked at."

-Mr. N 

 

"Dear CPJH PTO and Community, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for your kindness with the GiftCrowd gift card. The generosity that you show around the holidays means so much, and I cannot thank you enough for all that you've done. I feel so lucky to live and work at such a wonderful school and community."

-Coach B

 


 

What Parents are Saying

 

“Gifting can become overwhelming when you have more than one kiddo, and they each have seven or more teachers & coaches, which is why I turn to GiftCrowd to simplify my life. The teachers love it, and I can send them each a little something in a matter of moments! #awinforeveryone” - Alex L

 

“GiftCrowd is the best option for holiday giving out there! Simple and convenient for everyone, while giving the opportunity for staff to purchase what they really want in a higher quantity than what I could give individually!” - Staci L

 

“Last year was the first time I ever used GiftCrowd. It took 10 minutes total to figure it out and gift all of my child’s teachers, compared to hours in the past of trying to determine what to buy and then getting it all! Love it!” - Jen C

 

“I love GiftCrowd – it’s a very convenient and stress less way to spoil teachers and staff while allowing them to purchase something they want and need.” - Abbey C
