Lehigh Elementary School PTA’s Giving Tree program will end Dec. 17. Teachers and staff are asking for help in spreading some holiday cheer, so every Lehigh Elementary student can celebrate the holidays with joy.

The program supports Lehigh Elementary families in need during the holiday season. You can help by purchasing a $10 Walmart or Target gift card. Students can bring gift cards to the office by Dec. 17. Then, your child will get an ornament to hang on the Giving Tree in the school lobby.

All gift cards will be given to Lehigh families. Help them reach their goal of covering the tree with ornaments!

Thank you for your generosity.
