The Angel Tree
Student council invites you to adopt a Granger Villa resident to bring good cheer this holiday season. Angel shaped cards with wish lists can be found on the elementary foyer tree. Please attach the Angel card to a filled gift bag with your donation and place under the tree. If you are not comfortable leaving the present, you may give it to Mrs. Griffis in the library or Mrs. Hughes in the elementary computer lab by Dec. 14th.
Thank you for being another reason this community is so wonderful!
