Teacher & Staff Gifting

Dear Mitchell Families,
We have an awesome new method for parents to gift teachers and staff via Giftcrowd.com which collects monetary gifts. Mitchell PTO is facilitating GiftCrowd as an easy and virtual way for families to show appreciation to Mitchell teachers and staff. Giftcrowd lists all the teachers and staff who directly interact with your child. Conveniently, you can give to anyone you'd like at one site. At the end of the gifting period, the teachers and staff will only see a list of givers, the total amount from a group and not your individual amount. Then they will be able to select a gift card from hundreds of stores. No service fees will be deducted from your gifts.

Included are LC teachers, Fine Arts, PE, Special Ed, Library, Nurse, administration, staff,
aides, custodians, cafeteria staff
How Does It Work?
1. GiftCrowd will present you with a list of all Mitchell Teachers & Staff.
2. Click on “Join” next to the Teacher or Staff member you wish to gift. Every recipient will be able to see the total amount of the gift and the list of givers (but not their individual contributions).
3. To join a gift, please select the gift recipient and then add your greeting and contribution.
​
GiftCrowd does not take a cut of your donation.
You can give to everyone you want at one time and even write them personal notes if you’d like.
Options for Teacher & Staff Gifting
We'd like to offer some options for teacher and staff gifting this holiday season. Once again we want to remind everyone that gifting is 100% voluntary - there is no expectation or requirement.
Options:
-
Give directly to teachers (and other Mitchell staff) through Giftcrowd.com
-
See note above for how this works & the link
-
This is the preferred alternative to a group collection & gift
-
-
Teachers' Amazon wish lists or favorites are another great way to gift! Contact your LC Parent.
-
Handwritten notes and cards are always treasured, alone or in combination with any of the above.
-
Submit a Teacher Achieving Excellence (TAE) through CISDs Home Access Center. Go to the access portal and login using your credentials.
Worth noting that CISD rules state that teacher and staff gifts may not exceed monetary value of $50 per teacher/staff member per giving event per family.
Again, nothing is expected; everything is appreciated. Please do what is best for you and your family.
