Thank That Special Teacher Through the CREF Staff Recognition Program

With less than a month of school left before summer, you may be considering how to thank your child’s teacher for a year of hard work and valuable learning experiences.

There are always the old standbys: mugs, apples, a gift card, or some homemade cookies.  Save time baking or shopping, while at the same time presenting a thoughtful and meaningful gift through Council Rock Education Foundation's Staff Recognition Program.

The Staff Recognition program is a chance to say thank you to that special teacher while supporting education within the district.  Donate to CREF online or by mail and provide the name of the teacher you're honoring. Then, when CREF receives your donation, they'll send a student designed recognition card to the individuals that have been honored.

All donations made to CREF through this program are tax deducible.

CREF is a charitable organization independent of the school district that supports programs that enrich and promote continued excellence in the local schools. Each year, CREF awards thousands of dollars in grant monies to innovative classroom projects throughout the district.
