PTU Angel Giving Tree
December 4-8 | Optional Giving Campaign for Grades K-8
All donations can please come to school with your child or be dropped at the school office.
What is The Angel Giving Tree Project?
Advent is a time for us to give thanks and to reflect on all of the many graces that God has given our families. It is also a good time to think of those in our community who are less fortunate. In the spirit of helping others, Saint Ambrose PTU will once again collect new and un-wrapped gifts of various items listed below for needy area families. The donated items will be collected in our school library in the mornings just after announcements. As in the past, these items will be given to Saint Ambrose/St. Colette Catholic Works of Mercy and the Brunswick United Methodist Church to serve the needy in our area.
If you wish to participate, please send the item with your child between the dates of Monday December 4 – Friday December 8. Each student delivering a gift will place their name on a paper angel on the library’s Angel Tree showing their generosity and compassion. To reach all age groups and cover the most needed items, please find below the suggested purchases. Please keep in mind that you are not limited to the list and that anything that is donated is appreciated.
