Due to current events, the PTCO is unable to host its annual Breakfast with Santa event this year. That means many kids don't get to see Santa at the school like they usually would 😞 So instead, the PTCO is bringing Santa to everyone in a different way!
Below, you'll find a video message from Santa 🎅 to all the residents of the town of Georgia. Santa wants to be sure nobody feels left out or forgotten, so please share it with friends and family, or play it on your TV 📺 for everyone to watch together 😄
Santa would also like to send every family in Georgia a special postcard 💌, and he's partnering with the PTCO and 802 Eye Care to make it happen! Simply fill out the form below, and a postcard will be mailed to you at no cost:
Note: the time period for postcard requests has ended
Finally, the PTCO is offering each family the chance to see even more of Santa! You can enter a drawing to win a chance to receive either a personalized video message from Santa, or an in-person visit from Santa at your home! More details about this can be found below the video.
🎄🎄🎄 Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄🎄🎄
For fundraising, the PTCO is offering gift bags for sale. These gift bags contain toys, crafts, and other gifts donated by local businesses that children will love to open on Christmas morning. Each bag costs $5 and provides that family with 1 entry into the drawing.
Orders must be placed by the end of Friday, December 11th. Ordering may be halted early if we run out of supplies before then.
Ordered gift bags can be picked up in the school parking lot on the evening of December 21st and 22nd, from 5pm to 7pm. Any orders that haven't been picked up will be delivered to your home on December 23rd.
All proceeds go toward our fundraising efforts to continue to support GEMS teachers and staff, and bring you the fun events we organize every year.
We'll be drawing winners on December 13th. Only one prize will be awarded per household. The prizes are:
- Two (2) families will win an in-person visit from Santa at your home! This visit happens outside your home, and your kids get to see and interact with Santa. The visit will be scheduled at your convenience, taking into account Santa's availability. Children are required to wear a mask. Santa will not be wearing a mask, but will follow all necessary precautions to keep your children safe and healthy.
- Twenty five (25) families will win a personalized video message from Santa! Santa will send you a pre-recorded video message addressing all the children in your home, and read them a quick story. You can keep this private video for yourselves, or share it with whomever you want. This video message will be delivered by December 23rd. It's a great way to start off your Christmas festivities.
If you have any questions regarding this fundraiser, don't hesitate to
