SSOS 2017 Giving Tree
This season, adopt a child or help supply bridge boxes to make a happy holiday for kids at our Title I sister school Cactus View Elementary.
Important Giving Tree Dates
  • Adoptions begin via Sign Up Genius – TODAY, Monday, Nov. 20th
  • Drop off labeled, unwrapped gifts – by Wednesday, Dec. 6th
  • Drop off food and toiletry items – by Wednesday, Dec. 6th
  • Boxing & Wrapping Party – Saturday, Dec. 9th, 1-4pm
Please provide your adopted child with one toy and one book. The suggested gift amount per child is $25. Please label your gifts, but leave them unwrapped. Enclose each child’s donations in a single bag or box, if possible.
Gifts are Great, Food is Essential
Additionally, we are collecting food and toiletry items to build “Bridge Boxes” of food for the winter break. 70% of CVES students are provided with free and reduced lunch, and also receive breakfast at school. When school is not in session, many of them go without regular meals. Help us provide food security to these children with donations of food that are non-perishable, require minimum kitchen preparation, and can be eaten at room temperature.
For more information on suggested donations, please click HERE.
