TAG Wrapped in Love Fundraiser
Greetings!
Students involved in the secondary Talented and Gifted program are organizing their annual fleece blanket drive called Wrapped in Love to provide for local shelters and hospitals and they are in need of your support.
Any dollar amount is welcome and will be used to purchase fleece and other materials necessary to build the blankets, which will be distributed to various locations throughout the holiday season. You may access the donation link directly by clicking here, or if you’d prefer to donate by check, it may be made out to MSTM. Please feel free to reach out to Beth Grafft at beth_grafft@mstm.us with any questions.
