A Tree Lighting Opportunity at Unity
Parents, we would like to light up the trees on our campus with solar powered Christmas lights this upcoming Christmas season. It costs approximately $25 to purchase solar powered Christmas lights for a mid-sized tree. Would you consider a donation to the Genesis Arboretum and this cause? Mr. Haan and students will begin decorating trees in early November. For more rationale about the project please visit the arboretum website. If you would like to donate please use the Unity Venmo handler: @UnityChristianHighSchool (Unity Christian High School Association). Please use "Tree Lighting" in the memo instead of emojis. You can also turn in cash and check (memo: Tree lighting) to donate. Thank you for helping us share the light of Christ by lighting up the trees on our campus! Donations will be accepted through Friday, November 20.
