HSS Staff Wishlists and Favorite Things

We love to appreciate our awesome HSS Staff! 

Check out the links below for opportunities to support classroom needs and thank the educators that are so important to our school community.

Staff Holiday Gifts

This year we have an exciting new option for staff holiday gifting! Interested families can contribute to one or many staff links, and the staff member's family contributions will be put into a "bank" where they can each pick how and where they spend their funds.  


Contribute to staff GiftCrowd gifts here: https://app.giftcrowd.com/app/join-event/lT65fEAhYy


The gift collection ends on 12/23/2023 9:00 AM. At that time, the gifts will be sent to their respective recipients.

Every recipient will be able to see the list of participants (but not their individual contributions) and their greetings.  Reach out with any questions to hsspto304@gmail.com.
