Gift of the Season Gift Drop-Off
The PTO would like to remind you and your student to bring your gift donation to school this week to support the 18 families we are sponsoring through HCS Family Services.
Prior to break, students had the opportunity to select a yellow gift tag for a specific individual in need this holiday season. The card contained details for a specific wishlist item. We are collecting these gift items this week, Tuesday - Friday. Students can drop off the gift, with the yellow card attached, in the boxes at grade level entrances, or in the office.
Please include your yellow gift tag with your gift so they can be matched with the correct family. Remember, gifts must be new and unwrapped. Please include a gift receipt when possible. The suggested gift amount is up to $50. All gifts are due this Friday, December 6th so they can be distributed in time for the holidays.
If your student did not select a gift card, but your family would like to participate in the gift drive, please contact margiejeffords@yahoo.com.
Thank you for supporting families in need this holiday season!
