Please bring in money and give it to your homeroom teacher to donate for Santas Anonymous or make online donations till December 15th. Every $40 raised will buy a child a gift this Holiday season. Check out the gallery to see how many gifts we have raised this year. Our goal is $4,000. Let’s help create Christmas memories by buying 100 kids presents this year and share some Christmas love.
