The Angel Tree is a continued tradition here at Barbara Bush Elementary. Our nurse, Peggy Jones came up with the idea to help the families in need at Christmas time. The purpose of Angel Tree is to provide Christmas gifts and food baskets for families at Barbara Bush Elementary. A tree is placed in the office so Bush families and staff members can participate by choosing an Angel Tree ornament with a selected item to purchase.

Many different groups get involved in helping with Angel Tree. The Girl Scout Troop 1338 made stockings and stuffed them full with goodies.

We have increased to helping 14 families this year. Families may ask for toys, food, or other household items that they may not be able to afford for their loved ones. Once, a family donated a whole bed set, all for a little child that had nothing to sleep on.

On Teacher's Work Day, the principal and teachers deliver the gifts and food that our community donated. Way to go Bobcats !
