Our annual Giving Tree fundraiser has one week left, and we have reached 35% participation. Thank you for your generosity, South School families! If you have not had a chance to donate yet, please consider doing so by clicking HERE.

Each year, we work closely with the teachers and administration to identify and purchase enrichment items for South. Aside from funding field trips, author visits, and performing arts performances, did you know we provide every teacher with funds to replenish their classroom? Your support makes this possible, and our teachers want to thank YOU. 

Dear Members of the PTC,

“I cannot thank you enough for your tireless work for our classrooms and students! My students also wanted to say thank you! I made sure to tell them that so many of the resources and valuable items in our classroom are the result of our PTC’s hard work and from incredible parent generosity. Thank you for providing so much for us, as your funds helped us to purchase needed supplies, books, and classroom puzzles for brain breaks (a HUGE hit). Thank you for all you do to support us!”                                                    - Kristen Bulkley, 4th Grade

“Thank you so much for the generous check for me to use for supplies. This year I wanted to add a little cozy, calming corner to my office and used the money to buy a soft comfy chair, a fluffy rug and a few other cute things. The kids absolutely love it!  It's been a wonderful addition to my office thanks to your support.”                                                  

- Kim Staiti, Support Staff

“Thank you so much for your generous check. This money goes a long way to help me engage and support students and their learning. I am so grateful to work in a community that appreciates teachers the way you do!”                                                                          

- Tori Marek, 4th Grade

“Yet another year of kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity. Thank you for providing this gift each year; it means so much! It's clear this district and their families value us as educators, which is not how it feels everywhere. New Canaan is a special place! Thank you for all you do. I hope you and your families have an amazing year!”                  

- Danielle Olivia, Support Staff
