The Washington West Elementary Gift Card Wall was established to show appreciation to employees at the school.
Parents and local businesses in the Washington area donated over 125 gift cards of $15 apiece from various businesses in the area.
Each teacher, para, custodian, cook, secretary, and bus driver from Washington West Elementary received one gift card on Tuesday, December 22, the last day of school before the winter break.
“Businesses have been so supportive to help give the teachers and staff a little extra Holiday Cheer. We can’t thank them enough,” said Washington West Elementary Principal Kim Hunt. “All extra gift cards will be raffled off after the holidays for a New Year’s surprise.”
