Angel Tree
Timbercreek Elementary School
Timbercreek Elementary has an angel tree tree every year for students and siblings. This year the tree is filled with many “needs” and not a lot of “wants”.
There are still over 100 angels on the tree so if you can help out, please call Timbercreek or stop by and pick up an angel or two! These families will appreciate your generosity!

Toy Drive
The Friends of Rachel and the Marcus High School Cheerleaders are collecting toys again this year. Please bring unwrapped, new toys to the donation boxes at Marcus. Boxes will be placed in the counselor and front offices.
In addition to the toy drop off, we will be having pictures with Santa (Santa played by two very handsome senior boys) December 18, 19, and 20 during all lunches. Pictures will cost either an unwrapped toy or $5 for up to three students. Each student thereafter will be $1.
They will have one final push the morning of the 21st in the drop off areas of the school for any last minute donations. Please help us make this a huge success!
