NOTE: St. Michael’s stresses Christmas as a religious holiday. Gift giving among students is strongly discouraged. In addition, the SMPA, in conjunction with the Activity Fee billed to the St. Michael’s parents, provides the teachers with a $50 gift for the classroom at Christmas. Please be reminded that solicitation of additional money from students or parents is against school policy.

Checks are provided to room parents in November to pay for these gifts. If room parents would like to purchase a gift card through the SCRIP program for a Christmas gift, please notify Erin Bacon by November 16th. If the room parent chooses this option, the SMPA purchases the gift cards and does not issue a check to the room parent. Room parents or volunteers from the same grade level should plan together for these gifts so that their gifts will be equal. For the Christmas gift, ask the teacher what he or she would like for the classroom and/or discuss ideas at your parents’ meeting. Please cash your checks in a timely manner.
