The holiday season is a magical time of year, and at The Academy, it’s one of our favorite traditions to celebrate the spirit of giving through the Angel Tree. This year is especially meaningful, as many of our new students are experiencing the holidays for the very first time. With your support, we can make this season truly special and provide gifts that keep giving all year long.

- 📚 Something to READ

Spread the Holiday Cheer
This season, let’s come together to create lasting memories for the children in our community. By adopting a child through the Angel Tree, you’re not just giving gifts—you’re sharing joy, kindness, and hope. From our Nest family to yours, thank you for helping us make a difference this holiday season.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Bridge the Gap for Nest Families This Winter Break
Winter break can be a challenging time for the 25 families of Nest children, who face food insecurity when school meals pause. While “Home for the Holidays” is a time of joy for many, it often means added hardship for these families.
Thanks to your overwhelming generosity with our Angel Tree, many have asked how to do more. Here’s how you can help:
A $200 donation provides groceries for one family, ensuring they have the food they need during the break. You can:
- Mail gift cards by Friday, December 13th, or
- Donate online, and we’ll purchase and wrap them for you.
These gifts will be presented to families at our Christmas Brunch on December 18th.
Your kindness brings peace of mind and comfort to these families. Together, let’s complete our Christmas giving and make this season truly bright for every Nest family.
From our Nest to yours, thank you for your love and support!
