Who was "The One" for you? 🍎📖

We all have that one teacher who changed everything. This week is all about them!

Let’s shower our Gettysburg Area School District educators with the love they deserve. A simple "thank you" goes a long way in fueling the passion it takes to shape the next generation of Warriors.

As you prepare to say goodbye to 2025, please consider a gift to support one or more of GAEF's active fundraising campaigns including...

The Gettysburg Area High School JROTC program honors GAHS alumni who have served in our nation’s Armed Forces. As of December 30th, the Wall of Service Project has raised just over 50% of the $2,000.00 goal needed to construct a new display that will address sustainable expansion to accommodate past and future alumni, including a tile representing each graduate and their service.

Your gift can be made "In Honor" or "In Memory." You can also include a picture.

Thank you for your consideration.
