Prospect Teacher and Staff Gifting

5/9/2026 9:15 pm

To show our appreciation to Prospect staff, the PTO is using GiftCrowd to facilitate year-end gifting to Prospect staff. GiftCrowd enables families to make a contribution to any staff member and include a personalized message. (Room Parents will continue to coordinate classroom teacher gifts.)

Click here to access the Prospect staff gifting page.

Notes:
- You may choose to give to whomever and however you wish. But gifting a smaller amount ($2-$5) to staff who work with most students is appropriate as this is one collective, school-wide gift.

- This is a comprehensive list (less the classroom teachers who will have their gifts coordinated by room parents). Our intention is to include everyone that families may have a connection to in order to streamline your gift-giving process.

- Please note that while teachers/staff will see which families contribute to the collective gift, the amount you contribute will be private.

- Unlike the holiday GiftCrowd, custodians are included on this list. Mr. Angel is retiring at the end of the year after MANY years as a Prospect custodian.

As always, these group gifts are completely optional and the monetary contribution is up to each family. Should you wish to contribute, please do so by Thursday, 5/21. Gifts will be distributed on Friday, 5/22. Thank you so much for your involvement and support!
