Students can purchase a gift card for their teachers from PTSA president Sandy Allison in the commons during activity period and both lunches until Dec. 15.

After the purchase, a student signs a card for the teacher, coach, or director and the money collected goes towards the teacher’s massage. Students can spend anywhere from $1 to $500, and the amount of money spent is anonymous. Teachers will receive their cards for the chair massages Dec. 16. In January, teachers can schedule their massages for a selection of dates during activity period, after school or before school. If teachers receive more than what the chair massages cost, the additional funds are converted into a gift card.

“Teachers receive hundreds of Christmas ornaments that their sweet students have given them for  gifts through the years, little knick-knacks, perfumes that the teachers can’t use because they’re allergic to it, or foods they’re not supposed to eat because of their diet,” Allison said. “This is a way to say ‘thank you’ to the teachers for the wonderful jobs that they’re doing and invigorate them.”
