Below are the Teacher/Staff Favorite lists that are normally kept at the school office in a binder. Please note not everyone employed at the school participated in filling out a form. We know that many of you like to give gifts to the Teachers/Staff before winter break which is the reason for providing this information.  Gift giving is not a requirement-- Teachers and Staff have made it very clear to us that they already feel very appreciated by the parents and students at McAuliffe!

The PTSA will place a large box at the front of the school for the week of December 14th – December 18th  from 9:00 – 3:30.  The box will be in the same spot where Fun Run envelopes and Giving Tree gift cards were accepted.  All gifts will be distributed by the school office staff.  Please make sure to label your gift clearly.  If you are planning to give an e-gift card, please make sure to email the person you are gifting so they can make sure it doesn't end up in their junk email.
