Show Some 'Applause' for Farmington Public Schools

Does your child’s teacher stay after school to help with homework? How about the bus driver who hands out treats on special days? Or the custodian who found your child’s “lost forever” i-Pod in the cafeteria?

Want to thank these Farmington Schools staff members for examples like this and more that are done every day in Farmington Public Schools? Now there is a new program to help.

May is Staff Appreciation month and a new program offers community members the opportunity to say "thanks."

Applause, sponsored by the Farmington/Farmington Hills Education Foundation will honor staff members with a Certificate of Appreciation customized with your child’s or family name and the name of the staff member being thanked.

According to the Farmington/Farmington Hills Education Foundation Facebook page, there is a $10 donation contribution for a single appreciation certificate or a $100 donation contribution for up to 15 certificates. 

"Best of all, donations are tax-deductible and will keep on giving as they will fund more innovative programs in our schools," the Facebook post read. "Proceeds will be used to fund 2013/14 Innovation Grants."

Forms are available on the Farmington/Farmington Hills Education Foundation website.
