Holiday Tree of Wishes

November 10^th - December 9^th

The holidays are a magical time of year.  With your help, we can bring happiness to Bullard children and make sure they have a wonderful holiday!  Beginning November 10^th, we will start taking donations for our annual “Tree of Wishes.”  You or your child can stop by and “catch a snowflake” from the tree in the front lobby.  Each snowflake will be marked with a gift a child has selected, but may otherwise not receive without your help.  Please attach the snowflake to the unwrapped gift and deposit it in the box located in the lobby no later than Wednesday, December 9th.  

There will be an adult in the lobby prior to announcements each morning to assist your child in choosing a snowflake.  Please discuss with your child how many snowflakes they are permitted to take.  If you are unable to purchase a particular item, please have your child return the snowflake and select another.  If you have any questions, please contact Tracey Brownlee at traceybrownlee@mindspring.com or Kathy Juncal at kljuncal@yahoo.com.  Thank you for your support!
