Tarvin Times

Trailblazers,

I am thankful and blessed to lead Tarvin Elementary school. Also, I am grateful for the students, families, and staff that make up Tarvin. Your continued support is very appreciated. I hope you all have a safe and fun Thanksgiving break.

Together in Learning,

Christy Hilbun

National Family Literacy Month

National Family Literacy Month is November and it’s time to get the whole family together to enjoy some reading — because when you read to your children, you inculcate in them fundamental skills for success in their later years in school and life. When a parent reads with their kids, learning occurs, memories are created, and bonds are made (or solidified). If you desire that your kids become readers, now is the best time to help develop in them a love for reading — then wait to have them thank you profusely in the future.

ON-LINE REGISTRATION: November 14th through December 8th

https://www.hillcountrychristmas.org/

Please fill in all of the blanks on the registration form. Not filling in necessary information, like child's age, birthdate, school attended and most importantly, Christmas wishes only slows down the process. You will need to provide a proof of residence (within the Leander ISD boundaries). There will be a link to permit you to upload it to your registration. The proof of residence must include the name of the person listed as applicant. It can be any utility bill showing you are receiving mail at your residence. Not providing the proof of residence will delay your registration processing. If necessary, we will verify your child’s school attendance with their school.

We do ask that you do not apply for assistance from more than one organization, as all of our resources will be limited this year due to the current economy. We will do our best to ensure that every child gets a wish or two this Christmas!

When we receive your application, we will send you a confirmation email within 7 days with the pickup location, date, time and your assigned Family number to present for gift pickup. If you do not hear from us, please send an email to: HILLCOUNTRYCHRISTMASBUREAU@GMAIL.COM
