Holiday Gifts for Staff

Our annual teacher and staff holiday gifting tradition is underway!  Our PTO has set up a Gift Crowd gifting page for each member of the staff. Join us in showing our teachers and staff members how much we appreciate their dedication to our children!

How to Participate in GiftCrowd

1. To contribute to a group gift for any CPJH staff member(s), click here.

 

2. Select the staff member(s), input the amount you wish to contribute, add a personal message for the recipient if you’d like, and pay online.  

GiftCrowd will pool all the contributions for each individual and send it to the recipients when the gifting event closes at 10 pm on Thursday, December 15th. Every gift recipient will receive an email at that time, indicating the total gift amount he/she received, along with all of the personal greetings from the contributors. They will be able to redeem their gift by selecting gift cards of their choice from a large and robust selection of stores and brands.

 

The deadline for joining gifts is 12/15/2021 at 10:00 pm. This is a firm deadline, which can not be extended due to the platform settings.


Participation is totally optional and hopefully it’s beneficial to you! 

Please note - this is not a fundraiser for the school or PTO - it is just a resource we are sharing to make the holidays a little easier. 100% of your gift goes directly to the recipients you choose.

Donations for Cafeteria, Custodial and Support Staff

In the spirit of gifting, in addition to GiftCrowd contributions for specific staff members, please consider making a separate contribution for PTO to use for purchasing gift cards and treats for our Custodial & Cafeteria teams, as well support staff at CPJH.  


We know its not feasible for many people to donate to every single staff member, but if you make a general contribution by clicking here, our PTO Board will split the total of those donations and ensure everyone receives a gift!  Thank you for helping us support ALL of our school staff during this holiday season! 

CPJH EVENTS MADE POSSIBLE BY YOU

Thanks to the loads of volunteer hours and generous donations from our parents, CPJH students enjoyed two very special events in November!

November 11

We hosted our first annual Fall Harvest Bash - a social event for our 6th graders!  What A Hit!   Thank you to all the 6th grade parents who made contributions and volunteered to make this event such a success. 

November 16

All CPJH students were treated to a special assembly fromauthor and illustrator Nathan Hale.  His presentations captivated students and taught them lessons in history! 

Both events were made possible from fundraising at CPJHPTO.  It is your donations and contributions that help provide a thriving environment for your students.  

Athletic and Club Yard Signs

Now that basketball season has kicked off, several families have reached out, asking to order yard signs for their students!  The order form for yard signs will be open until Saturday December 10th.  If you missed out on ordering club or yard signs for other activities, those are available on the form during this time, as well.  Be sure to include your student's jersey number if you wish to include it on your sign. If left blank in the order form, it will not be included on the sign.  Click here to order!  

STAFF APPRECIATION

Thank you, parents, for the donations of amazing pies and desserts for our annual "Thankful for You" dessert celebration for CPJH staff on November 17th! Homemade and storebought alike, your sweet treats were greatly enjoyed!  In addition, the coffee bar is stocked with some fun items to treat the staff members during the holiday season. Thank you to everyone who participated and donated to make this event possible! 

Coming up next, thanks to your financial contributions to PTO, our hospitality team will be treating the teachers and staff to a catered holiday luncheon in December. 

We are grateful for all the ways you help show appreciation to our amazing teachers and staff at CPJH!
