Treasures for Teachers
​Posted by Germantown Education Foundation on 06/26/2020 
The Germantown Education Foundation (GEF) has established a program called Treasures for Teachers. During the summer months, teachers begin planning and supplying their classrooms for the new year. The Germantown Education Foundation would love to take on the sometimes financial burden of supplying an entire classroom with school supplies by matching the state allocated $100 per teacher for school supplies for the year. Through the Treasures for Teachers campaign, donations of $100 are put toward supplying every GMSD teacher with an $120 gift card to the Knowledge Tree to help purchase supplies.
For your $100 sponsorship:

• Your donor/business will be listed and advertised on the Germantown Education Foundation Website, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram pages.
• Your donor/business is invited and publicly recognized at the district-wide yearly kickoff at our GMSD teacher in-service.
• Your donor/business will receive social media coverage as well as news media coverage at the GMSD yearly teacher in-service.
• City Officials, GEF Board members, GMSD Board Members, Teachers, Administrators, and GMSD staff will be present at this in-service.
• Donors will receive an In-kind donation letter for tax purposes.

Treasures for Teachers has been a widely successful campaign, for which every teacher within the school district is extremely grateful of the supportive community.
To donate, visit https://germantowneducationfoundation.org/treasures-for-teachers/ or checks can be mailed to 3350 South Forest Hill Irene Road, Germantown, TN 38138. For more information, contact GEF Executive Director Robyn Rey Rudisill gef@gmsdk12.org or at (901) 756-2309.
