service opportunities:
Angel Tree Service Opportunity | 'Tis the season for giving! This year, UCA is partnering with a local organization to provide gifts to children and families in need. Help brighten someone's Christmas this year by buying them a gift! Starting Tuesday, November 14, there will be name tags on a Christmas tree with a person in need of a gift. Students or parents can grab a name tag, sign up for the person you chose, and go shopping! The usual price spent is $15 and under. All gifts are due back to school by Tuesday, November 28. If you would rather make a donation to the cause instead of a gift, please pay in the Main Office. Thank you!
Tissue donations | If you are willing to donate tissue boxes, please bring them to Ms. Pointer in the Main Office.
