The Giving Tree is Up!
Together we can make the holiday season a little more magical for some Carlos Gilbert students and their families. The tree is up and sparkling in the school foyer and the tags are on. If you’re interested in making one of the wishes come true, please select a tag and bring the item(s) in by December 14.

Unsure how the Giving Tree works? Please see recent special eblast or contact PTK President, Jana Amacher :)

Next PTK meeting is Wednesday Dec. 14 @
8:15AM in the teachers lounge.
Join the team! We'll work on this together for a while and gradually shift to a new eblaster. Got great ideas for communicating with our school families and community? Let's do it!
