OPERATION LA PALOMA HEROES
Please Help! Operation La Paloma Heroes is going on right now!

Operation la Paloma Heroes is Lakeside students and families helping others in our school and community during the holiday season. Our goal is to "adopt" families during the month of December and provide them with gifts and a grocery gift card for a holiday dinner. There are two ways you can help:

1. Pick an ornament off one of the HERO TREES in front office and buy the gift listed on it. *Dirctions are posted by the tree.
2. Send coins to fill up our "COINS OF CARING CONTAINER" in the front office. This money will be used to buy grocery store gift cards for holiday meals.

Thank you for all of your help! Happy Holidays
