The BTES "Giving Tree" in our foyer is for our students and families in need. The tree has ornaments with specific gifts for our families in need. If you are able to help out a family or student for the holidays please stop by and take a look. Remember all gifts should be returned to the school unwrapped with the tag clearly visible and attached. We appreciate your support and help during the holiday season.
