We are asking for donated decorations, gift cards, or items we could set around the tree that are Red, Black, or White. I have attached the flyer. For those of you who don't know, Annie Oakley is a not-for-profit regional animal rescue that operates out of Sidney, MT. They have helped animals in and around Alexander as well. They are hoping to build a solid facility. Thank you for your support in one of our community service projects!

Three hinges for our set.

Drama club shirts—we welcome suggestions for affordable printing options or anyone interested in helping sponsor shirts for our students.

If you have supplies or costume items to share, a shirt recommendation, or would like to help, please contact Mrs. Ferry at 701-828-3334.
