Dear Roadrunner community, Bring Comfort and Joy to a child in our community! Please stop by the RES front office to visit our Angel Tree. We have 150 angel tags that represent 50 students and their siblings. Each Angel has multiple tags to make it less costly for each person who participates. For example, one tag will have a toy item, another will list a shirt or pants, and another a jacket. You are welcome to take as many tags as you wish! WHEN DO I RETURN THE ANGEL TREE DONATIONS? Please return all items no later than Friday, December 15th. DO I WRAP THE GIFTS? No thank you. We have wrapping paper to provide to Angel Tree families. Please return the tag or at least have a note with the number attached so that we know which child the items belong to. Thanks for your help supporting our students and their families.
