For the fourth consecutive year, Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary School’s faculty and staff volunteered to “adopt” a child in need by taking a star from a Giving Tree and buying the listed present.“Families in need were identified and asked what they needed this holiday,” said Assistant Principal Kerri Bianchi. “Faculty and staff purchased gifts, wrapped them and used the star as the gift tag.”
Social worker Renee Tanner said approximately 80 gifts were distributed this school year, some of them to families with several children.
