    Angel Program Holiday Appreciation
Thanks to the generosity of dozens of families in our Newcastle Elementary community, we were able to sponsor 12 families this holiday season!
Special thanks to our fabulous counselor, Ms. Mutter for identifying our Angel Program families. We know her work can be unseen and we are grateful for her advocacy and kind heart.
Thank you to our Angel Program chairs, Hilary Doherty and Victoria Allen, for the large undertaking of wrapping everything, and Ellen Lubbers and Doherty kiddos for assisting!
And of course, our Angel donors. Without you this would not be possible. Wishing everyone a holiday season filled with love, laughter, and the warmth of knowing you've made a difference.
