A heartwarming tradition at Elk Ridge Middle School is the work students do with Angel Tree to provide kids in their community with a Christmas. Each class adopted an Angel and collected both gifts and cash donations. Donations poured in, with some classes even filling two bags of gifts.

With the money raised, Elk Ridge SBOs shopped for the Angels who didn’t have all their needs filled, ensuring every child received support. This project developed real-world skills in project management, teamwork, and communication, all while making a tangible difference for children and families who need it most.

Amazing job working together to show the power of giving during the holiday season Elk Ridge!
