New Teacher Recognition Program

Looking for a creative way this holiday season to honor the teachers and staff members who have “awakened joy” in your children? Say thank you to these special people by honoring them through the Pelham Education Foundation’s With Joy and Thanks Program.

Some FAQ's About The Teacher Recognition Program:

How do I donate?

Simply log onto our donation form and make a secure donation using your credit card.  Under the donation section, simply choose teacher recognition from the tribute gift type drop-down field.  Then, enter your teacher's first and last name in the tribute name first and last boxes.

Is there a minimum donation?

Minimum donation of $10.00 per teacher honor is required.

What if I want to include a personal note?

To include a personal note to your teacher, simply add a note in the your personal message field of the donation section of the credit card form.

What if I want to honor more than one teacher?

In order to ensure proper delivery of your e-card, you will need to complete the donation process for each teacher separately. 

How is the teacher notified of my donation?

An e-card will be sent to your teacher's school e-mail address noting that a gift has been made in their honor. The card will indicate the donor but will not specify the amount donated.  You will be copied on the e-card mail distribution to the teacher.

What name will show on the e-card?

Please ensure that the "donor name(s) should be recognized as" field is completed with the name(s) you would like to see on the e-card.

How will my donation be used?

All donations are invested in our classrooms to fund innovative projects and your contribution is tax-deductible.

My donation confirmation that was e-mailed to me doesn't show the teacher tribute information.

Our current confirmation limits the amount of information which is e-mailed to you, but rest assured that your information was captured by our system. You will be copied on the e-card mail distribution to the teacher.



Thank you for choosing this unique opportunity to show your teachers and staff members how much you appreciate them in a way that also directly benefits your children and all the children of Pelham.
