				<title><![CDATA[End of Year Gifts for Teacher & Staff (deadline May 17th!)]]></title>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Compass Families, 

CMEF would like to invite you to give funds toward a teacher and/or staff's end of the year gift before summer break. We've  created this easy link for families to contribute - click here to add your contribution toward a teacher/staff's end of the year gift now! 

As a reminder, we are NOT collecting donations at the front offices, but instead using this link. Contributions will be collected and added to cards for all teachers/staff before the last day of school. 

IF YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE - DUE MAY 17TH! 

All funds collected will be allocated to the classroom or staff group you choose (in the groups provided in the link).

The funds do NOT go into one big pool for the whole school, but instead are allocated to your chosen classroom or staff group directly. CMEF then reviews all group totals and if necessary, adds funds to ensure all staff receive a minimum gift at the end of the year. If you have further questions about giving toward end of year gifts, you may email cmef@compassk12.org. 

If you’d prefer to give to your teacher or a staff member in a different way, please create a card from your child and give your gift separately. (We will not be collecting cash in the front office/front foyer at all this year for liability reasons. Thank you for understanding.)

CARDS - Please make a card! Students and families, please consider creating a card and deliver it to teachers and staff. (The CMEF gifts will be given from the "whole class" for classrooms and "Compass families" for other staff groups, so personal thank you cards are optional from families, but SO fun and meaningful for the teachers/staff!). 

Thank you, 
CMEF
cmef@compassk12.org]]></description>
