Thank you so much to everyone who donated to the Angel Tree program at Illini Bluffs this year! Due to the generosity of staff, parents, and community members, we were able to provide a gift card, a wrapped gift, and an assortment of candy and snacks to every 6th to 12th-grade student on our list!
We appreciate everyone's efforts in helping to provide a little holiday cheer to an age group that often gets overlooked. Every small act of kindness has the potential to make a big impact, so thank you again for helping spread kindness to our older students in need and letting them know that we care.
Wishing all of you many blessings this holiday season!
