During the typical holiday season, there is a drumbeat for gift giving \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to friends, family, colleagues, and clients (to name a few!). This year, however, global and local circumstances may put a damper on excessive shopping. Indeed, as people seek ways to cut down on gift giving, they may instead focus on how to make a difference.<\/p>\n

On December 1, hundreds of thousands of civic-minded individuals around the world will celebrate #GivingTuesday<\/a> by donating to their favorite nonprofit organization or cause, and spreading the word to encourage more giving. According to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Giving Tuesday and Beyond\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/a>, 38 percent of those who donate to charity said that they are more likely to do so during the holiday season.<\/p>\n

Here at Steller Secondary our community is known to be extremely generous — we have started highlighting all the ways our students and families give back to our school and the community at large with their time, talents and donations through the #StellerGives campaign.  Please continue to share your stories by emailing them to chairstellerparentgroup@gmail.com and we will highlight them through Flash and the Student Showcase on the website.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We also humbly ask that you consider donating to Steller Parent Group as part of your giving plan this year, if you feel you are in a position to do so.  This year, the Steller Parent Group has decided to introduce a direct donation appeal for families that would like to offer support since we can’t hold any in person fund-raising events. All donations go directly toward supporting Steller students and projects<\/a>. There is a Donate button at the top right of the Steller Secondary website page for quick and easy payments (scroll down to the bottom if you are reading this on your phone).<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year Steller Parent Group has funded:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. $1100 to purchase Art Supplies<\/a> while students are learning at home. <\/li>\n
  2. $125 for a Banner<\/a> in the school entrance. <\/li>\n
  3. $700 for Staff Appreciation<\/a> gifts.<\/li>\n
  4. $640 for Hand Sanitiser Stands<\/li>\n
  5. $1600 for Student Nutrition support on school re-entry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
