The Giving Tree is Back!

Every holiday season, Carlos Gilbert Elementary sets up a Giving Tree in the school's foyer to collect gifts for Blackhawk families in need. Gift tags with requested items are hanging on the tree. Yake a tag and return it with a wrapped gift by Tuesday, December 12th to help bring some holiday magic to CGE children. Each student receives a clothing item, book, or toy and their family will receive a grocery card. Please bring the wrapped gifts to the CGE office. Thank you for participating in our Giving Tree project and providing extra help to those who need it.
