Hello Thornapple Families!
Thank you for your generosity! Our Fall Conference Sign up was 100% filled!
If you have any questions please contact Nicole or Sarah (welovetc2003@yahoo.com and sarahlkramer@gmail.com)
The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is a program where Martin Luther King Jr Leadership Academy families earn gifts for their children by volunteering their time in their school and community. This year we have the opportunity to support 50 of these children. Our gifts can brighten their holiday season and give us a chance to celebrate the Gift of Giving.
1) Beginning Wednesday, October 30, choose a tag on the bulletin board located in the Thornapple Elementary lobby or visit the online sign-up at: https://signup.com/go/uEtMRCB
2) Shop away! Please try and purchase the gifts as described (size, color, specific item.)
3) Return the gifts to the main office by Friday, November 22. Gifts should be UNWRAPPED and gathered together in a bag with the tag number attached.
Additional volunteer opportunities can be found at: https://signup.com/go/QBLbcHG
Please contact Sarah Lickiss (sarahlickiss@gmail.com) or Harmony Hitchcock (harmonyhitchcock@yahoo.com) with any questions.
