Make a magical difference in our CHES community this winter!
As many of you know, the Cornell Elves program supports a limited number of CHES students during the holiday season. However, far more CHES students are in need of this holiday magic than the Elves program can support.
For the third year, the CHES PTA is reaching out to you to help make these holiday wishes come true for the rest of our CHES community, through our GIVING GNOMES program!
More than 30 CHES students and their siblings have signed up to receive a special delivery from a Giving Gnome. The need is significant, but we believe the CHES PTA and our supporters can make this magic happen!
This is a commitment near and dear to many of our dedicated and caring CHES teachers; we hope you will be as generous as they have been this season!
There is a suggested commitment of $150-$200 per child. Feel free to team up with others to make the goal more affordable - just be sure that one person signs up on the sponsor sheet.
Once you've signed up, Principal Grainger or Eva Beaver will reach out to you with your assignment. More detailed instructions will follow once you sign up! Please note that all gifts will need to be dropped off at CHES no later than December 11.
Thank you in advance for making this CHES PTA initiative a success! We can't do it without you, and we are SO grateful for all you do!
Why Gnomes?
In Scandinavian folklore, gnomes are similar to elves and are said to deliver presents to children.
Known as house spirits that protect children and animals, they are said to symbolize good fortune, respect, and care.
