Gift Policy

Sanchez Elementary School Online Mentoring Program

Gift Policy

Please do NOT feel obligated to send your youth protegé a gift. You are welcomed to do so, but please understand that it is NOT a requirement of this program.

If you do wish to send or bring a gift to your youth protegé:

Contact the appropriate teacher at Sanchez Elementary School FIRST (see your SANCHEZONLINE e-mail newsletters for information), to let the teacher know what, when, and to whom you will be sending or giving the gift. Do NOT send or bring the gift until you receive their approval!
The gift must be sent in care of the teacher's classroom at the school:
Do NOT send money!
Please do NOT send an expensive or luxury gift. Instead, we suggest:
- a book
- a postcard (young people are THRILLED to receive postcards!)
- pencils, paper, and other supplies the youth can use in the classroom
