The Deerfield Parents Network is working on a teacher and staff appreciation raffle for December 21. The items will be put into a raffle the night of their holiday party. So far the DPN have come up with some great donations from parents. We thought as students we could come up with our own gifts as well to say a huge thank you for all they do for us. There are so many ways you all can get involved. There are a few suggestions below, but we are open to whatever you can dream up. If you would like to help out in any way please email us at DPNteacherstaffappreciation@gmail.com to donate your time or talk to any of us to brainstorm!
- Babysitting Hours
- Baking desserts/ cooking dinner in their apt
- Cleaning crew
- Dogwalking – maybe 7 of you could each take a day and donate a week’s worth of walking
- Sports lessons to the faculty children – a lax clinic, an hour skating on the rink, some tennis lessons, some swimming lessons
- Donate some time reading to the kids
- Piano lessons
- Violin lessons – any instrument for that matter
- A photography session… there are some great photographers amongst  us
- Art work
Whatever you can think of!! Everyone will really appreciate your effort.
Thanks so much,

My goodness! This gesture is one of the nicest I’ve heard of in my many years here. Even if it does not happen, the idea behind it is so touching.
