Teacher and Staff Appreciation
“Thank you so much for teaching us such a wide variety of things. Not only teaching when they work, but how. Now when I come across a formula or concept, I think, ‘how?’ Thank you so much.”
- Student-written HATS award to classroom teacher
You can show your appreciation for a teacher or staff member with a HATS Award.
Accepting orders NOW until December 18! Will be delivered on December 20!
What is HATS? It stands for Honor a Teacher or Staff. It is a special way to thank a member of the teaching team or support staff. It's so easy to do, and your HATS gifts support the projects funded by LSF. There are so many people in our schools who have a positive impact on our children every day, and we are happy to help honor them with HATS!
Honor up to 5 teachers or staff members with personalized thank you messages for each.
Single certificates should be personalized one at a time. For example: to order 7 certificates, please personalize 1 + 1 + 5. Need help? Send an email to hats@lincolnschoolfoundation.org.
How does it work?
HATS are a way to send personalized messages of appreciation to teachers and staff members while supporting the Lincoln School Foundation. You choose who you’d like to thank, and we send them a personalized certificate of appreciation.
Who can be honored?
In addition to your child's teachers and assistants, consider celebrating the hard work of teaching specialists (such as science, math, art, music, drama, wellness, literacy, and technology), librarians, office staff, nurses, custodians, transportation & cafeteria team members, METCO staff, LEAP, Lincoln Recreation Department—anyone associated with your child's experience in the Lincoln schools.
Does my gift go directly to the honoree?
No. Your HATS gift, honoring a teacher or team, is a donation to the Lincoln School Foundation that directly funds our grants. Gift amounts are not disclosed to the recipient, and gifts are tax-deductible.
