🎄✨ HELP US BRING CHRISTMASTOWN TO LIFE! ✨🎄
Our Christmastown event is right around the corner, and we’re gearing up to make it the most magical holiday experience for our students and families — but we need YOUR help! ❤️
We’re currently collecting Christmas decorations (lights, wreaths, inflatables, ornaments, garland — all the festive things!) AND a snow blower to help keep our pathways clear and complete the winter wonderland feel. ❄️☃️
✨ New or gently used items are welcome!
Every donation helps bring more holiday cheer to our school community. 🎁💚
🛷 Drop-off Location: Front Office @ HES
Let’s come together and make Christmastown unforgettable for all! Thank you for spreading joy and supporting our PTO! ❤️💚
