The Season of Giving:
  • Share-a-Gift
Treehouse Learning is participating in Share-a-Gift again this year. The Share-a-Gift toy collection box is NOW IN OUR SCHOOL. Share-a-Gift is an annual, all-volunteer toy collection and distribution holiday project encompassing the Boulder Valley Schools area. Last year over 600 households (1700 boys and girls, ages birth to 14) received these community donations.To be successful, Share-a-Gift needs thousands of high quality, new and used toys, games, books, and puzzles. School collections are the biggest source of toys for Share-a-Gift. This collection allows children to meaningfully participate in gift giving by sharing their own gently used or new toys with less fortunate children in Boulder county. Toys may be dropped off in the Share-a-Gift box in our front lobby now through Wednesday, December 13th. Thanks for sharing with your community. If you would like to volunteer to help with this worthwhile project, please go to volunteers@shareagift.org.

  • Salavation Army Angel Tree 

Angel Tree is a unique holiday assistance program that connects a generous individual or group with a child (or “Angel”) in need.  The Salvation Army Corps Community Centers tailor their Angel Tree Programs to meet the needs of their surrounding community and all Angel Tree gifts are collected and distributed locally.   Spread the joy of caring and sharing with those who would otherwise go without.  Tags are located at the front desk.  Please return the unwrapped gift with the tag to Treehouse Learning before December 13th.  Thank you!

  • Teacher Gift Policy – Giving to the Treehouse Learning Staff Appreciation Fund is easy!

Our gift policy limits the value of gifts given to individuals to $25 maximum.   We ask that whole teaching teams or the entire staff be recognized, and this can amount to a large number of gifts, which can be pricey.   

As an alternative, consider a contribution to our Staff Appreciation Fund.  This is a great way to recognize your child’s teachers. Checks are made out to Treehouse Learning – please designate the contribution by writing Staff Appreciation Fund in the memo portion of your check, cash is also accepted.  At the end of the year the fund is divided equally between all staff members – including specials teachers and kitchen staff.  It is an easy way to be sure no one is overlooked, without breaking the budget!  However, there is No obligation!  Please do what is comfortable for your family…we also love warm hugs, smiles and hand written notes!
