GHS ANGEL TREE

We are accepting requests for the GHS Angel Tree this Christmas season. The Angel Tree is available for current 7th-12th grade GHS students and is 100% confidential. Requests must come from a parent/guardian/family member. If you know of someone in need, please talk to the family and encourage them to fill out this confidential request form. Someone from GHS will be in touch with them to confirm the details.

If they have trouble filling out the form, please have them contact GHS (615-683-8245) or email Rene Keeton or Angela Reed at GHS.


Request forms will be accepted until NOON on Monday, December 9th. This will allow enough time for our Angel Tree shoppers to purchase the needed items.

"STUFF A BACKPACK"

We are asking local organizations, businesses, and/or churches to please consider sponsoring a backpack for our "Stuff a Backpack" program that will go along with our Angel Tree.

The "Stuff a Backpack" program is exactly as it sounds... stuffing new backpacks with items that are genuinely a need for many students. The stuffed backpacks will be issued to any GHS student who is a recipient of the GHS Angel Tree. Any leftover backpacks will continue to be issued in the future through the GHS Comfort Closet. GHS is asking that the backpacks and all items inside to be new. A specific list of items to "stuff" is included below. Please add ONLY items specified in the lists to the backpacks.

Also, GHS is asking that backpacks NOT to be delivered by individuals to the school. Local businesses, organizations, and churches may bring their donated “Stuffed Backpacks” to GHS Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., now until 12 p.m., December 18.
