How You Can Help Us Raise a Strong Foundation |
Jingle Bell Jog The second Saturday in December is when the Education Foundation hosts its annual Jingle Bell Jog. The Jingle Bell Jog was created during the 2007 school year as a 1 Mile Fun Run. The purpose of the Jingle Bell Jog is another way for the foundation to raise funds, as well as to serve as a community-wide event. In 2008 a 5K was added to the Jingle Bell Jog to accommodate the district's secondary students and more adult participants. Click here for more information about the Jingle Bell Jog. Employee Giving Campaign Every year EM-S ISD employees have an opportunity to give back to the foundation through the annual Employee Giving Campaign. The Employee Giving Campaign allows employees to invest in their workplace by making a tax-deductible donation to the EM-S ISD Education Foundation. Donations can be paid with cash or check. For added convenience, employees can also have their donation automatically deducted from their paycheck in monthly installments. Employees donated over $20,000 to the Foundation in 2012.
