TEACHER & STAFF HOLIDAY GIFT DRIVE
Thank you, BASIS Families!
We are very grateful that 223 families demonstrated their support of BASIS Scottsdale teachers and staff, collectively raising $30,332 for the Holiday Gift Drive, exceeding our goal by $8,482!  It's not only a testament to just how exceptional our school is, but also a reflection of our extraordinary community. 
Thank you to everyone who contributed!

Boosters would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Kim Frankel and Julie Yalam, our Teacher & Staff Holiday Gift Drive Co-Chairs, for spearheading this fundraising campaign.  We appreciate their leadership and dedication!

We will present the teachers and staff with their cash gifts at their upcoming holiday party, hosted by Boosters.  This year's party will be held at OHSO, which has provided amazing service, working within our budget, and offering a fantastic venue. We encourage everyone to patronize OHSO's Scottsdale location to show our appreciation for their support:  15681 N. Hayden Rd., Scottsdale, 85018, 480.948.3159. 
HOLIDAY CANDY GRAMS
Happy Holidays, BASIS Families! What a great time of the year, right? Students and parents now have the chance to send students, teachers, and staff candy grams! The candy grams can be personalized, providing a lovely surprise for friends and teachers, all while supporting the school! They will be given out on Thursday before winter break, December 17th, and will be available for purchase during lunches from December 7th-11th at 2 for $1. Give some, receive some! Have a great rest of the year!
