This is being independently organized by parents at Denlow Public School and GiftMagnet.
It is being provided as an option to parents who would like to show their appreciation to staff and teachers
during the holiday season and like the ease of contributing to a group gift.
Contributions are now being accepted
GiftMagnet has set up a group gifting contribution webpage that will allow
parents to easily contribute to group appreciation gifts.
PARENTS CONTRIBUTE TO GROUP GIFTS
Parents will select as many of the group gifts that they want to contribute to.
Parents will enter in the amount that they want to contribute to each group gift.
Parents will enter in comments that they want included in the group card for each teacher.
Parents will be able to pay for their group gift contributions by email transfer or credit card.
Parents will not have to sign up for a GiftMagnet account to contribute to the group gifts.
GIFTMAGNET REVEALS THE GROUP GIFTS
GiftMagnet will pool together all of the contributions for each staff member and teacher.
GiftMagnet will also compile all of the comments for each faculty member into a personalized group card. View Example
GiftMagnet will reveal the group gifts by the end of the last day of school.
The total value of the group gift will be revealed. All individual contribution amounts will be kept confidential unless you specify otherwise. If it is important to you that the recipient(s) know how much you contributed, you will be able to select this option.
RECIPIENTS SPEND THE GROUP GIFTS

There are no fees to the recipient of the group gift. The recipient of a group gift will receive 100% of your group gift contributions.
There are no fees from GiftMagnet for parent contributors who want to pay using an Email Transfer. (Please note: Bank charges may apply)
There will be a minimal fee for parent contributors who want to pay using a credit card. GiftMagnet uses Stripe.com to process its secure credit card transactions. Stripe charges GiftMagnet 2.9% + $0.30 for every transaction.
GiftMagnet passes these fees onto parent contributors so credit card transactions on GiftMagnet will incur a 2.9% + $0.30 fee.
GiftMagnet does not make money off of the credit card fees. The fees are purely cost recovery for what Stripe charges GiftMagnet.
