If you've been to our commons lately, you've noticed our little Christmas tree set up. We're not Hobby Lobby and jumping ahead with decor, we're promoting the Giving Tree! There are "ornaments" with different gift card suggestions. We encourage students, parents, and staff to take an "ornament", purchase the gift card, and return both to the office. These gift cards will be given to families throughout the district who want to give their family a better Christmas than they can financially do themselves. Thank you in advance for giving to this cause.
If you need assistance in this area, please fill out the GivingTreeLetter found here http://harrisburgdistrict41-2.org/o/north-middle-school/browse/36743 and return to the office.
