Project Wrap-In is Coming on December 6th, 2017!

Each student is asked to bring in one new, unused gift ($5- $15) to store in homeroom the week of December 4. Students in grades 9th-12th may instead buy a gift for a young child of any age with their own gender in mind if they would like; however, keep in mind
that children benefiting from this outreach opportunity may also be teens. Additionally, students are asked to bring wrapping materials like wrapping paper, TAPE, ribbon, bows, etc.  Our hope for all students is:

  • Bring in one present ($5-$15).
  • Contribute wrapping paper and/or other wrapping supplies. Extra tape is very helpful!
  • Bring a giving and positive attitude.
  • Have fun!

We are looking forward to making a difference in the lives of many children! If
you have any questions please feel free to contact the following:
