Varner Giving Tree: Monday December 5-Friday December 12, 2011

The is Varner's holiday outreach program to Varner families.  During the weeks of December 5^th  and December 12^th, a tree will be set up in the front lobby of the school. This tree will be decorated with stars identifying the gift wishes of participating Varner families. If you would like your child to select a star from the tree, please complete and return the form that went home Friday. The counselors will assist your child in selecting a star from the tree each morning from 7:15am to 7:50am.  If you would like to come by the school to select a star yourself, then please ask the counselors or front office for assistance. After the item has been purchased, please tape the star to the UNWRAPPED gift and return it to the school counselors.  We would like all gifts to be turned in by Friday, December 16^th.  However, the absolute deadline is Monday, December 19^th.

Thank you for your generosity as we reach out to those who need our support and for working together to help teach all students about the importance of giving. Tina Carty and Amy Chupp: Varner's Professional School Counselors 770-222-3778
