Click the box above for the latest updates from Ms. Welborn and Ms. Massey

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are going all virtual for our Holiday gift collection. Instead of picking an ornament off of our Holiday tree and purchasing items, Ms. Welborn and Mrs. Massey are requesting donations of gift cards to WalMart, Target and Amazon. They are collecting wish lists from our families and will use the donations to purchase gifts for the students. They will then purchase and wrap the gifts and distribute them to families. This is all in an effort to reduce the number of people coming into the office, as well as the number of people handling the gifts. 

We are collecting donations from 11/23-12/4. We would love to have your donation to purchase a gift card through here. Additionally, gift cards to WalMart, Amazon or Target can be purchased separate from this sign-up. However, if you purchase separately, please make sure the gift card is returned to the counselors by no later than 3:00 pm on December 4. (Please note - all donations through this signup will be kept anonymous.)

We so appreciate your support in making sure our students have gifts this holiday season!
