SEASON OF GIVING!
Each year during the holidays, our community has generously supported Gayman families in need. This year, we are asking our Gayman community to choose a tag from our tree, which is displayed in the front hallway. – You may help by purchasing a gift card for the store your tag indicates-either Walmart, Target, Kohls, or Amazon. Please bring the gift cards to the office by Friday, December 8th, labeled with the value of each giftcard.
We, as a staff, would like to extend our sincere gratitude for your generosity! This is a wonderful opportunity for us to set an example for children to bring joy to others.
Warmest holiday wishes to you and your family,
The Staff of Gayman Elementary School

SAY "YAY" TO PAJAMA DAY!
Friday, December 8th is Pajama Day! Say "Yay!" to Pajama Day by sending in a donation for the patients and families at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
The time for breakthroughs is now. CHOP is on the cusp of life-changing discoveries for children. They are transforming the well-being of children and creating healthier communities throughout Philadelphia and across the world. We are raising money because we want to help make today's innovative ideas, tomorrow's realities.
During this season of kindness and generosity, we want to say thanks for supporting the needs of children everywhere!
