Patriot Elementary School families selected tags from a Giving Tree on Thursday, Nov. 18, at the school’s annual Cookies and Cocoa event.
Patriot Elementary School families are stepping up
to help five local families, made of up 28 people in the Papillion area, who
need a little help this holiday season.
At the school’s annual Cookies and Cocoa event on
Thursday, Nov. 18, suggested presents were selected off a Giving Tree for the
Patriot community to go purchase and return to school to be passed along to the
local families.
Almost all the tags were selected during Thursday’s
event, with around 50 remaining for distribution as of the following afternoon.
Anyone from Patriot who was not able to sign up can still do so.
“We thank you for helping us make the holidays a
little brighter for our Giving Tree families,” a representative of the Patriot
Parent-Teacher Organization said on the school’s Facebook page. “Patriot
families are generous families.”
