A special thank you to…
Step Up Northern Michigan and all of the wonderful volunteers and donors who hosted a Santa's Workshop at Traverse City High School. Students were invited to select gifts from a large selection of donated items. We are so grateful for your generosity!
Our friends at Hagerty for continuing the tradition of adopting 100 students across the district for holiday cheer! Thank you to every Hagerty employee that took the time to put a gift bag together for a student in need and to Hagerty for donating a $25 gift card in each bag for the parent to use at their discretion.
The TCAPS Bus Garage for their generous donation of jackets, hats, gloves, and more!
Subie Guys, Inc. of Traverse City for dropping off warm winter coats, snow pants, and personal hygiene kits for our students. This is the second round of winter gear from their clothing drive!
Cherryland Electric Cooperative for selecting the TCAPS SSN program as the recipient of a Cherryland Cares Grant for $2,000. Each month, Cherryland Electric Cooperative members have the opportunity to round up to the nearest dollar on their electric bill. That money goes into the Cherryland Cares fund, which local nonprofits can apply for. The funds received from the Cherryland Cares grant will provide healthy snacks to help increase cognitive awareness in our students and enable their readiness to learn!
PetSmart Charities for donating 400 stuffed animals to TCAPS to share with students in need. For every stuffed toy purchased in their stores, 10% of the sale is donated to PetSmart Charities which helps pets find forever homes. We know the students that received these adorable pets are so happy to have them!
OMPT Specialists Physical Therapy for positively impacting our school community. In addition to adopting a TCAPS family for the holidays, OMPT delivered bulk snacks, winter gear, blankets, pajamas, and much more to help us ensure that all TCAPS students are ready for learning this year!
