Say “Thank You” to an East Lyme Teacher!
Looking for a meaningful way to recognize an East Lyme teacher or staff member this holiday season?
Join the East Lyme Education Foundation’s “Thank a Teacher” Program!
With a tax-deductible gift of $10 or more, ELEF will deliver a personalized Certificate of Recognition to your child’s teacher—complete with your name and optional message of thanks. Certificates will arrive before the December holiday break, just in time to brighten their season.
Why It Matters.
Your donation does more than honor a teacher. It helps fund innovative classroom projects through ELEF mini-grants—unique learning experiences that go beyond the school budget. In our first year, ELEF awarded nine grants (up to $1,500 each) to teachers across every East Lyme school help us to support even more projects next year.
Double the Impact:
✔ Say thank you to an educator who made a difference
✔ Support creative learning opportunities for all East Lyme students
Submit your message by December 18 to ensure delivery before the holidays.
Engaging Students. Empowering Teachers.
One grant at a time.
