Giving Tree

On the bulletin board across from the office is hung The Giving Tree.
The Giving Tree is a wonderful tool for parents to show teachers how special we think they are. The PTA has asked each teacher to take inventory in their classroom and make a list of items they need to make their teaching experience — and the students’ learning experience — a better one!

When you purchase an item, feel free to deliver that item personally to the teacher or classroom after school hours, or have your child bring it in and mention it is part of the Giving Tree. You are always welcome to contact someone on the Giving Tree committee to make arrangements for the delivery.
