your student for better un-

few minutes each night as well.

Just inside our school’s

front doors, you will find our

Giving Tree. It is loaded

with apples! These apples

come from teachers who

have items they would like

for their classroom, such as

magic erasers for our wipe

off boards or little

can-

dies/ trinkets

for our prize

box. If you are

able to pick an

apple and pur-

chase the

items, your teacher would

be very grateful. The teach-

er name is on the back of

each

apple.

Thank you for your

generosity!
