12 Days of Holiday Cheer!
The Buist Foundation and school administrators are creating "12 Days of Holiday Cheer" for our faculty and staff members. If you would like to help, please consider donating any of the items listed in the sign-up, linked here and below.
On December 14, the Buist Foundation will provide lunch from Jason's Deli for the teachers. If you would like to help offset the cost by making a $10 donation, please send a check in an envelope labeled "Front Office- 12 Days of Cheer" or Venmo @Buist-Foundation.
We are grateful for our teachers and parents and appreciate all your continued support!
