Message from Monica regarding the Giving Tree....
Hello Staff,
This holiday season we will still be having our annual Giving Tree. For those that have not heard of the Giving Tree, it is an opportunity for us and our school families to help support our less fortunate school families through donated items specific to the children in that family in the form of gifts and clothing. This year, we will not be doing physical items due to the risk of exposure so we will instead be doing gift cards.
If you or someone you know would like to donate a gift card(s) to our students please observe the following polite request:
- Meijer, Kroger, or Target gift cards only.
- Gift cards no larger than $25 each. This will make it easier to split among families.
- The deadline to donate is December 11th. This gives you 2 weeks to shop!
- Leave in my mailbox or office but please label so I know it is for the Giving Tree.
A good majority of our needy families have already been helped through applications to the Good Shepherd coalition or Goodfellows. We will use these donated cards to reach out again to those not already being helped who are also on our Free/Reduced lunch list. If there are any remaining cards I'll keep them to distribute over the course of the year as needs are presented. This occurred with gift cards donated from a Clinton Township group and it turned out to be just what some families needed after losing their jobs to COVID closures after March.
A blurb will be put into the Cardinal Connection for all families so that those that wish to donate can and those that are in need can apply for help. If you have any questions please let me know. This program makes a HUGE difference in the lives of some of our students.
Thank you!

At this time we have been informed that the Kiwanis Club will not be doing their traditional food drive during the holiday season. They hope to do something at a later date.
