2024 Otsego Angel Tree
Again this year, we are hoping to make the holiday season a little brighter for some of
our students whose families are facing hard times due to various reasons.
If you would like to help a child in need, please watch the principal’s Friday email
updates for a link to choose an Angel “virtually” (around Nov. 15th). You will be
asked to provide your name and phone number when you choose a student in need.
Each child will have two angels assigned (an A and a B) with the child’s age and
gender. Angel A will have the most needed clothing items and the child’s sizes, while
Angel B will have the child’s interests and favorite toys. These will be suggestions to
assist you in selecting special gifts for that child.
Gifts must be brought to the office by DECEMBER 11th.
Thank you to everyone who helps to make this program a HUGE success.
If you or an organization you represent wish to make a monetary donation,
please drop it off at one of the three school offices and we will make sure the
funds are used to purchase items for an Angel.
