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 (almost 1100 caring individuals) 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. The lotto offers a way for the community to say thank you to all staff in all schools. It also makes a fun little surprise towards the end of the school year. Who knows, we might be able to recruit some really cool prizes in future years.
When and where will the Thanks-A-LOTTO take place?
HEF celebrated our first ever lotto on May 4th, 2022, during national Teacher Appreciation Week. We look forward to doing it for the second time the first week of May 2023! A batch of scratch offs will be delivered to each school and the central office for every staff member to receive one. Prize winners will have their gifts delivered to them.
What kind of prizes might HCPS staff win and who provides them?
Last year we were 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. Help us reach or goal of having 1 in 3 educators win at least a small prize! Have a prize to donate, fill out this short form or email as at HEF@harrisonburg.k12.va.us. Your in-kind donation is likely tax-deductible!
