Nov. 2, 2021 – Halloween is over, the air is turning cooler, and the leaves are falling. This time of year always yields a sense of giving. Guilford Parent Academy (GPA) is getting into the holiday spirit by giving away five $100 gift cards to deserving families. 

GPA invites parents, caregivers, and community members to nominate a family and share why they should be the recipient of a gift card. Nominees must have at least one student attending Guilford County Schools. Nominate a family by visiting https://bit.ly/3pTHxc4. The nomination deadline is Friday, Nov. 19 by 5 p.m. 

“During this season of giving, we want to bless five families with some extra holiday cheer,” said LaSheka L. White, interim director of GPA. “Maybe you know of a family that’s going through a difficult time, or one that always goes the extra mile to help others. Tell us why you think they are deserving and together, we can offer joy and hope to those who may need it.” 

GPA’s gift card giveaway is made possible thanks to a donation from the Cleveland Elam Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping others. The winning families will be announced on Friday, Dec. 10.
