Giving Tree 2023
Dear Parents:
It’s hard to believe but it’s time to start thinking about the Heath Brook Giving Tree again! So many families in our Heath Brook Community have benefited from the generosity of our extended Heath Brook Family and we hope to continue the tradition.
If you are in need of gifts for your children, or if you know of a family at our school who are in need, please let us know. Families and children’s names will be kept confidential. The Heath Brook tree will be exclusively for children at our school and their siblings.
If you would like your family to be considered, please send in a letter with the ages and wishes for the children. Due to the high number of families in need, we request that each child list their top 3 items. We also request that each gift cost no more than $30. Our little elves are most likely to purchase items in this price range. Also please keep in mind that items shouldn’t be too specific because it can be very difficult to find certain items at holiday time.
The deadline for submitting lists has passed. Connect with Mrs. Hayward if you have a question or a concern.
If you are willing to buy and donate a gift, we will be emailing out a Sign Up Genius with all gifts listed. You can sign up online and send the gift into school by December 8, 2023. Sign-ups will be kept confidential. If you are unable to sign up online, we always welcome gift cards to local stores such as: Market Basket, Wal-Mart, CVS, Walgreens, and Target in any denomination.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact MacKenzie Hayward at mhayward@tewksbury.k12.ma.us or by calling the main office at (978)640-7865.
Thank you and Happy Holidays!
MacKenzie Hayward & the Heath Brook Teachers

Arrival and Dismissal Safety
- Please remember that cars are not allowed to pass school buses or vans while they are in the loading lane in front of the school. Anytime.
- Do not drive the wrong way in the loading lane. Enter from Shawsheen Street and exit toward the large parking lot.
- When in the long parent drop-off/pick-up line, please respond and obey the requests of school staff. When you delay a drop off, get out of your car, refuse to move your car, you are making it difficult for all the people who may follow you to move efficiently.
Our children count on all of us to remember the rules of the road in order that they may stay safe.
Thank you for maintaining a strong home/school partnership.
