✨Student Spotlight✨ This Falcon earned a Positive Office Referral last week and we are SO proud of her! We love shining a light on our students for making good choices! Have a great week, Falcons!

Dear Friends,
As we reflect on this Christmas season, our hearts are full of gratitude for each of you who answered the call to love and serve others. Because of your generosity, 85 adults and children in our community experienced hope, dignity, and the warmth of being remembered.
Through your giving, Catholic Charities families received household necessities, hygiene items, and gift cards, meeting practical needs with compassion. Thirty-two children in foster care were blessed with gifts from their Christmas wishlists, along with essential hygiene items and gift cards, reminding them that they are seen and deeply valued. Area children received Christmas gifts and hygiene items, and our community families were supported with household items, hygiene supplies, cash assistance, and gift cards during a season when help is needed most.
Your kindness was a living example of Christ’s love in action. You became His hands and feet, bringing comfort, provision, and joy to families who may have otherwise gone without.
Thank you for sharing your blessings so freely and for shining God’s light into the lives of others. May the Lord return your generosity many times over, and may you feel the peace and joy that come from serving Him through serving others.
With sincere gratitude and prayers for God’s continued blessings,
The Angel Tree Team
