Because the difference between a student and a parent is often a matter of age and not mentality, we've included some generally inexpensive gifts that fit the bill for either. Would you enjoy unwrapping these gifts during the holidays? If not, maybe someone you know would! 

For the younger crowd, we have some news for you. Your parents are on TikTok. I know, I know, they follow you everywhere. But here's the good news, they aren't posting any content and only watch other people (at least we hope). I can guarantee we've all seen someone use a plaster kit for fun and creative replicas of their hands or whatever they're holding, so it's the perfect opportunity to have some fun and throw an extra couple of digits in the mix, literally.

This kit includes everything you need to get creative and an activity on the day they receive it. Make the mold and tune into some holiday movies while it cures. The night ends with a forever art piece to commerate the day. 

And in the morning, I'm making waffles! Everyone does breakfast for dinner, right? What about breakfast for lunch?
Forget it, let's do dessert all day. Hear me out. Make mini waffles with the mini maker since they are basically giant cookies anyway. Then, make some ice cream with the cream roller plate, adding all of the things you'd love in your frosty goodness, and finally, drizzle it with some sparkling (sparkly) real maple syrup. Lastly, stuff it in your mouth and continue the day!  

​A walk through your neighborhood over the last year was evidence that Amazon had grown to the point of necessity for most of us. We'd venture to say you placed at least one order yourself. Students, faculty, and parents have leveraged the company to ease the stress, increase accessibility, and ensure their safety. Amazon is ubiquitous, and often the first stop when looking for products.

The Foundation for Pierce College needs your help. If you include links in your syllabus and other communication to purchase books, supplies, or other necessities, we'd like to encourage you to have a SMILE link. Nothing changes for our students. They will be able to complete their purchase as usual, but with the added benefit of supporting their fellow students by fundraising for our organization.

First, students, faculty, and friends who access THIS LINK will be directed to confirm SMILE purchases benefit The Foundation for Pierce College.

Any links you include in communications after that will only need to have smile in the URL for the organization to see the benefit. A small change in the information we already share can do a world of good for the students we support.

For example, below is a link to a Pierce College Los Angeles hat
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0915WTLVY 

By replacing www. with smile. a .05% donation will automatically be made to the foundation

Your support is greatly appreciated, and with your help, we can increase the number of lives we impact yearly. The board members at the Foundation for Pierce College appreciate all you have done over the last year to provide quality education to Pierce College students. We know that it hasn't been easy as you've had to take on more responsibilities as we moved to remote learning. Thank you from all of us for the sacrifices you've made and continue to make. This small change takes time, and we know you likely have very little, but this change can have a significant impact on our students.

Lastly, please consider doing your daily shopping from https://smile.amazon.com and encourage your students to do so as well.

Below is the information required when selecting our organization as your charity, please be mindful that there are two foundations, one in Washington, and ours, choose wisely.
