🎄✨Hearts at Work: Angel Tree 2025 Success!✨🎄

In the midst of the holiday season, we pause with grateful hearts to celebrate an incredible act of generosity and teamwork by the Redbank Valley School District and our amazing community. 💙🐾

This year, Redbank Valley School District proudly took on the entire 2025 Angel Tree Project from start to finish. From collecting student information 📋, communicating and distributing Angel Tree tags 🎁, gathering donated gifts 🎄, and ensuring those gifts reached families, it was a massive, district-wide and community-wide effort.

Through the 2025 Angel Tree Project, Christmas necessities and joy were provided to 195 students, supporting nearly 85 family households. ❤️ What a powerful reminder of what the Redbank Valley community can accomplish when we come together for our students and families!

🙏 Heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated their time, spread the word, contributed gifts, and supported this annual project. We are also deeply thankful to the families who trusted this program to help bring Christmas into their homes.

🌟 Special appreciation goes to:
🎄 The Redbank Valley Church Association
📖 The Redbank Valley Bible Club, whose students helped organize, collect, and distribute all 195 student gifts, turning our school into a joyful hub of activity
🎁 Redbank Valley staff, who stepped up to fill over 20 unclaimed Angel Tree tags
🏫 RVSD Administration, for their collaboration, leadership, and commitment to ensuring every student was served

This project represents a tremendous accomplishment for both the district and the Redbank Valley community. 💙 Thank you to all of our Bulldogs for showing generosity, compassion, and teamwork that truly created Christmas magic. ✨🎄

On behalf of Redbank Valley School District, we wish you all a safe, healthy, and joyful Christmas and holiday season. 🎅❤️

🎉 With sincere thanks to our sponsors and donors:
Oakland Church of God, First Church of God, New Bethlehem Presbyterian Church, North Freedom Methodist Church, First Fellowship Church of New Bethlehem, Redbank Valley Public Library, St. Charles Catholic Church, J.M. Smucker Co., Grace Baptist Church, Hawthorn Nazarene, White Chapel Church, Leatherwood Church, AP Government Class (RV Seniors), Redbank Valley Bible Club, Redbank Valley Student Council, Redbank Valley Special Education & Student Services Department, RV Families, and over 20 dedicated Redbank Valley teachers and staff. 👏🎁❤️
