Dear Families,
Our Adopt an Ornament Tree is up and ready! If you and/or your family is interested in helping another family out this season, please visit our Tree located in the office. Please ring the bell at the front door and tell Rebecca or Liz you are here for the Adopt an Ornament Tree. If you select an ornament, please let Rebecca or Liz know your name and what number you chose. We just want to account for each number so they don’t get removed or misplaced by mistake.
The ornaments are all numbered and have gift suggestions on the back along with ages and whether the kids are male or female. If you take an ornament, please bring the gifts wrapped and labeled with age and gender to school along with the ornament by December 15. We will arrange with the families to pick up their gifts.
