My name is Andrea McKellar, RCBHC member and the founder of Teacher Presence.
 
Our mission:
 
To create a community of educators that spread the importance of kindness, empathy and gratitude through the gift of giving. We do this by helping redirect money that would otherwise be used for the optional end of year teacher/educator gifts from families to charities aligned with Teacher Presence. This allows us as educators to lead by example and show our students and families the impact of giving to others in need.
 
 
How you can help:
It is that time of year when families are considering giving a gift of appreciation to their teacher/ staff member. If you know a teacher or family that you feel would resonate with what Teacher Presence aims to do, we would very much appreciate you sharing our initiative with them.   100% of the money raised goes straight to the charities we are aligned with; Teacher Presence takes no money.
 
It is a staff member's choice if they would like to join Teacher Presence as it is a family's choice is they decide to give a gift at the end of the school year. Teacher Presence is simply an alternative to the physical gift. (Personally, I don't need a candle and I certainly don't need a box of chocolates, however it is so amazing to know that the money that families would have spent on these gifts is now been used to help girls in India and other countries go to school: that is pretty amazing).
 
Teacher Presence is a very kind, simple and effective way to help those in need.
