Adopt a Family and Giving Tree
The holidays are almost upon us and in an effort to give back to our community, we are proud to participate in the Adopt-a-Family program. This program is designed to provide assistance for families in the district who need help providing gifts for their children this holiday season. If you are interested in Adopting-a-Family please contact Monica Taylor. If you would like to donate a gift card for one of our adopted families in PUSD, please click on the following link: The last day to drop off is Friday, December 10th.
