Thank a D58 Teacher or Staff Member with a Green Apple

Submitted by Downers Grove Grade School District 58.

It’s a busy time of year! American Education Week takes place Nov. 16-20, followed quickly by Thanksgiving. In the spirit of the season, the Education Foundation of Downers Grove District 58 invites families to give thanks to a special teacher or staff member with a donation to its Green Apple Teacher/Staff Recognition Program.

With each donation you make, the Education Foundation will send a specially-designed Green Apple Award card to the teacher or staff member you are honoring, with a custom message from you. All cards are hand delivered by Superintendent Dr. Kari Cremascoli or the school principal, pending staff availability and classroom schedule.

Your donation will directly support District 58’s students and staff through the Foundation’s annual teacher grant program, which funds innovative programs in the classroom. This year, the District 58 Education Foundation awarded more than $21,000 in grant funds to District 58 teachers!

Donations are accepted on an ongoing basis. Green Apple recipients will be notified of your donation within seven to 10 days. The deadline for Green Apples to be hand delivered before the 2015 winter break is Dec. 11, 2015.

Donations may be sent by check using this form or with a credit card online atwww.58foundation.org/greenapple. All donations are tax-deductible. Please send questions to green.apple@58foundation.org.

Thank you for supporting the District 58 Education Foundation!

American Education Week annually encourages Americans to celebrate public education and the most influential teachers and staff members in their children’s lives. Please consider celebrating this special week with a Green Apple Award for a favorite teacher or staff member!
