The MES Apple Giving Tree is back, and we invite our school community to help bring a little extra support and kindness to our students and classrooms this season.

Our Giving Tree allows MES families, staff, and community members to sponsor specific student or classroom needs by selecting an item directly from our list. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference and helps ensure all of our students feel supported.

You can view the full list of needs and sign up here:

How it works:

• Click the link above to access the Google Sheet
• Choose an item you would like to sponsor
• Follow the instructions listed on the sheet for purchasing and drop-off
• Mark your name next to the item once it is claimed so others know it has been covered

All donated items will be distributed by MES staff to ensure they reach students discreetly and respectfully.

Thank you for supporting our students!
