  • Due tomorrow, 11/6.  The Angel Tree Committee has started working on submitting student names for the "Community Angel Tree".  This program is to help parents provide a Christmas for their child when times are difficult.  No child's name is ever identified to the public.  If you are interested in having your child/children's names included on this list, please stop by the office and pick up a form.
