STARS (School Teachers Are Really Special)STARS

What is STARS?

School
Teachers
Are
Really
Special

Looking for a way to thank all the teachers and staff in your child’s life? A STARS award is the perfect gift year round. Whether the occasion is Teacher Appreciation week in May, the holidays in December, birthdays, an end-of-year thank-you, or just a way to say “You‘re Great!”, a STARS is a welcome recognition of the people who make such a difference in our lives.

And just think, it always comes in the perfect size and doesn‘t require batteries! You don’t need to wrap it or find the matching bow AND you won‘t need to go to the mall and look for a parking space. ELF does all the work for you!

How STARS Works at SSES and HKMSSTARS

With a donation of between $5.00 and $25.00, each STARS honoree receives EITHER a beautifully wrapped cardstock star, which has been creatively decorated and personally delivered BY YOUR CHILD (we send the undecorated star home in your child‘s backpack), OR, if your child does not want to decorate a star and worry about it getting delivered, we will send an elegant certificate with the honoree‘s name handwritten in calligraphy delivered DIRECTLY to the honoree from ELF. The star and certificate acknowledge that a donation (amount not mentioned) was made to ELF in the honoree‘s name.

We‘ve found that elementary school age kids generally prefer to hand decorate and deliver the star themselves, while the HKMS kids (and parents) prefer the convenience of certificates. Both are always available to you but we do provide separate order forms for the two schools – cardstock stars or certificates for SSES and certificates (only) at HKMS.

Please remember: All proceeds directly benefit teachers and students by funding ELF grants.

The order deadline for the December holiday season is December 15.

Thank you for making a difference in our schools!
