More than 560 Students and
their Families from McGlone Elementary will
Receive a Special Holiday Dinner, Gifts and a Visit from
Santa
Denver, Colo., December 5, 2011 -- TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC), one of the
largest global providers of customer experience management services
and technology, and the TeleTech Community Foundation have
opted-out of the traditional corporate holiday party in order to
create a joyous holiday gala for community members in need via its
Spirit of the Season event. This year, TeleTech will host Denver
Public School's McGlone Elementary, in the Montebello community of
Denver, on Monday, December 5th at 6 p.m.
More than 1,500 members of the McGlone community, including
elementary students and their families, will attend the evening
celebration and holiday meal held on school grounds. Hundreds of
TeleTech employees and their families volunteer more than 2,000
hours to make the event a success. The evening will include a
family meal, pictures with Santa, face painting, cupcake
decorating, games and gifts for every student, sibling and
family.
"McGlone was selected largely because of their vision for 21st
century learning and dedication to student success despite the
language and economic challenges," stated Emily Eikelberner,
executive director of the TeleTech Community Foundation. "We
believe McGlone has created a model for successful educational
reform for schools across the country and we are proud to support
their tremendous efforts."
Working with the Denver Public Schools Foundation, the TeleTech
Foundation chose McGlone Elementary; a 560-student school near
Peoria and Interstate 70. Nearly 80 percent of the students are
native Spanish speakers. In addition, 98 percent of the students'
families are considered economically disadvantaged which qualifies
these students for free/reduced lunch through federal meal
benefits.
The Spirit of the Season event is designed to recognize the
school's significant efforts. In addition to the party, the
TeleTech Community Foundation will be donating nine Promethean
boards, commonly known as interactive white boards, to promote 21st
century learning strategies in McGlone classrooms through an
interactive learning environment.
