The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Public School Foundation’s Breakfast & Roses fundraiser is honoring ALL school staff at the end of April with a gift of appreciation, notes of thanks to teachers and staff, and funds to support vital programs for schools! During the week of April 22, PSF will deliver a rose and, NEW this year, LUNCH to all school staff. For 20 years, the Chapel Hill Restaurant Group has sponsored this event to support all CHCCS employees – every person who contributes to our children's growth and education! Here’s how you can help:

If you’d like to support this effort by making a personal donation to PSF, and a thank you note to the employee of your choice, click here to honor a CHCCS staff member! 

Your gift will provide vital funding for high impact school programming including:

  • Annual Teacher Supply Store (hoping to expand for August 2024)

  • Classroom Grants (hoping to increase funds available next school year)

  • Staff Awards for Excellence (over 70 awards are sponsored by Breakfast & Roses)

  • National Boards Assistance (reimbursement of fees paid to become certified)

  • Professional Development and Conference Travel to support teacher development

  • And more! 

The Public School Foundation provides over $100,000 each year for school programs. This essential funding is possible thanks to the generous support of our community!
