🎄 Stratford Elementary Christmas Angels Program 🎄
We want to share our deepest appreciation for the incredible support you show our students and families each year through the Christmas Angels Program!
All holiday season, families and community groups step up to provide extra support for those within our school who need it most. Our Christmas Angels Program makes this possible, allowing any interested person, family, or group to contribute in a few wonderful ways:
- Participating in our Family Sponsorship Program is simple: just choose the size of the family you'd like to support, and in return, we will provide you with their confidential wishlist. Please note there is no obligation to purchase all of the items listed; any contribution is deeply appreciated. Once you purchase the items, simply drop them off securely at the school, and our team will ensure they are received anonymously and discreetly by the family.
- Another option is to purchase Christmas (a wish list item/ items) for children and their families in our school community.
- Offering donations (gift cards or cash). Gift cards are always a flexible and great way to help! We especially appreciate gift cards for groceries or Walmart.
How to Help:
If you'd like to be a Christmas Angel, please let our school counsellors know:
- Dylan Taylor: djtaylor@edu.pe.ca
- Olivia Milligan-MacDougall: olmilliganmacdougall@edu.pe.ca
Our families benefit immensely from the kindness and generosity of our community year after year. Thank you for making a difference!
Christmas Gift Card Donations
We’ve added a $5, $10, and $20 Christmas card donation option on our Hot Lunch program for the month of December. All money raised will go towards the purchase of gift cards for families in need at Stratford Elementary. Thank you in advance for any contributions.
