ZCES giving tree provides for those in need

Zephyr Cove Elementary School is looking for community members to take a name for the school’s giving tree.

Counselor Jenay Aiksnoras tracks all of the students at the school and identifies the ones in need. Families in need complete a form requesting assistance in purchasing gifts for their children. The children get to request specific items; things their parents can’t afford.

Unlike a toy drive, people know exactly what to buy for the child whose ornament they have chosen.

Unwrapped gifts are to be turned in with the ornament Aiksnoras by Dec. 17.
