Once again, this Christmas season, Corpus Christi is participating in our 11th Annual Angel Tree Initiative.
This year we are supporting 77 individuals, who are part of 32 families. The assistance is provided within our larger diocese to our own Corpus Christi school community, Holy Rosary and St. Gabriel Parishes here in Burlington and to St. Patrick’s Elementary School in Hamilton.
The Process:
- Period 1 classes will choose a tag from the Angel Tree
- Students in each class will donate to the class gift for their selected angel. The goal will be to raise at least $75.
- Any extra money each class raises (outside of the $75) will be combined as a school to purchase a grocery gift card for each family to help provide a Christmas meal.
Students are encouraged, first and foremost, to bring CASH to assist with their class angel. Class participation is crucial to the success of this campaign; however, donations are voluntary. There is no set amount that students must donate.
Corpus Christi families will also be able to donate through “School Cash Online” (in addition to their cash donation) to assist with the grocery gift cards that are purchased for each family. CLICK HERE FOR SCHOOL CASH ONLINE If you wish to make a donation to the Angel Tree via School Cash Online, please click on “Make A Donation,” choose Corpus Christi from the drop down menu, and include in the “Message to School Board” that your donation is to be directed to the Angel Tree Initiative.
We will begin our Angel Tree initiative on TUESDAY NOVEMBER 23 and will wrap up on TUESDAY DECEMBER 7.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity,
Ms. Leslie and Ms. Teixeira
