Have a Heart Collection
The Student Council is teaming up with the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation. The foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing comfort to children and teens undergoing procedures to treat cancer. Student Council is asking for $5 gift cards, or cash donations that can be used to buy gift cards, that will be given to these children in need. Please bring any gift cards or cash donations to Oak Ridge School and give to Student Council Sponsors Mrs. Dembek or Mrs. Barker. Please read the flyer for more information. As always, thank you. We know that with your help we can make a difference in the lives of these families going through a difficult time.
