ABOUT GIVING TUESDAY
You've heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday - Giving Tuesday is the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and is recognized as the World's Biggest Day of Generosity!
WHY WE CELEBRATE
In 2021, we eliminated the long-standing Major Saver Discount Card fundraiser and launched a Giving Tuesday initiative. We want to focus on promoting a culture of generosity within our community! It isn’t about the amount you contribute, it is about supporting your greater community, if you are able.
STUDENT INVOLVEMENT
Student involvement looks different at each level.
ELEMENTARY: On Monday, December 2, all students will watch this short video about Giving Tuesday. Students will receive a special sticker to remind them to bring their coins and bills. Each grade level will have a Giving Bin for their coins and bills. Students bring their coin/bills to place in their Giving Bin on Tuesday, December 3. Donations can also be made at givebutter.com/LEFCommunity. Coins and bills will be combined with online gifts and the winning grade at each elementary will earn a Pajama and Candy NERDS Party!
EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER
The entire ECC will celebrate Giving Tuesday and have a Pajama and Candy NERDS Party!
MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL
There will be a friendly Blue Jays vs Eagles online giving participation challenge, with the winning birds at our middle and high schools, receiving the rights to the traveling trophy!
WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
