Overhead view of presents ready to be brought to Syrai

The kids certainly did a good job of providing for another child in need this Christmas.  At least on of Syrai's parents is in prison this Christmas.  The gifts will be presented to her as gifts picked out by the incarcerated parent.  Thanks again for caring guys!

Thanks to all who donated gifts for the angel tree kid. She should have a very merry Christmas.

Liberty Hill Middle School Choir 
this is an opportunity to show this child what kind of angels we really are

Please drop off a wrapped gift for Syrai to the choir room by Friday, December 6.

Syrai needs clothes and drawing supplies.
It looks like she is a size 14.  I assume this is a kid's 14 and probably her shirt size would be a medium or large.

Hobby lobby has 40% off one item coupons every week if you sign up for emails on their website.  This would be a good place to get stuff.

Let's help Syrai have a very merry Christmas!!!
