TREASURES FOR TEACHERS: Bringing your donations to local classrooms
The Germantown Education Foundation (GEF) has established a program called Treasures for Teachers. Our goal is to match the state funds for each GMSD teacher and honor them with an extra $100 to spend on classroom supplies. We are reaching out to community partners to match the funds given to each teacher. By donating $100 or more to this program, you are helping teachers purchase school supplies and instructional materials for his/her students.
Please click HERE to donate! We would love your support! Checks can also be mailed to the Germantown Education Foundation at 3350 Forest Hill Irene S., Germantown, TN 38138. For more information on sponsorship levels and to see a list of past sponsors, click HERE.

HMS Families,
