Who can believe the holidays are almost here again? As we get closer to this festive time, we encourage you all to take a moment to feel proud of the important work you’re doing for Denver and Aurora students, families, and communities. 

During this season of gratitude, we are excited to present several options for this year’s holiday gift.  As you likely know, we have made significant efforts in the last year to ensure that we place every available dollar on the bottom line of teachers, social workers, school psychologists, Center Program staff, and paraprofessionals. We have heard from some staff that they’d rather put the money spent on a gift towards their school, and we’re excited to announce that you now have the option to forgo a gift and put its value towards your school. But if you’re looking for some new DSST swag, we’ve spent quite a bit of time finding several options for appealing, useful, and fun holiday gifts that don’t break the bank. 

Given that these are special orders, please note the following:

• All orders must be received by 8 a.m. Friday, November 22nd. Anyone who does not choose their gift by then will have the value of their gift placed back into their school’s budget. 
• Because we’re placing custom orders, there will be no exchanging of gifts or requests for a different size, so please choose carefully.
  

Thank you again for all of the work that you do for our students. We hope you have a warm and magical holiday season!
