Thanks-A-LOTTO

Press Release for May 4th, 2022 - HEF Launches first lotto for educators |
What is the Thanks-A-LOTTO?
First and foremost, the LOTTO is a thank you card. Our goal is to give every HCPS staff member a scratch off card. Behind that silver circle is either a note from a community member or a prize that was donated by the community to thank HCPS staff for all their hard work.
Why are we doing the LOTTO?
Many community members want to say thank you to our educators and staff but don’t have a way to do so. This offers a way for the community to say thank you to all staff in all schools. We also thought it would be a fun little surprise. Who knows, we might be able to recruit some really cool prizes in future years.
When and where will the first Thanks-A-LOTTO take place?
On May 4th, during national Teacher Appreciation Week, HEF will launch our first lotto. Scratch offs will be delivered to each school and the central office. Over 1000 cards are planned to be given to each and every staff member. Prize winners will have their gifts delivered to them.
What kind of prizes might HCPS staff win and who provides them?
This year we are excited to have gift cards, plants, artwork and crafts produced by community members, HEF swag and even the opportunity to have a school board member do the winner's job for an hour. If there is something you might like to contribute in future years, let us know at hef@harrisonburg.k12.va.us.
