Holiday Hearts Program...

It’s time again for the annual “Holiday Heart Program” at Teasley.  Each year our students, staff and community members support families in need during the holiday season.  This year we are trying something new!  We are asking you to buy gifts cards from places such as Wal-mart, Target, Publix, Kroger or QT instead of gifts.  Please assist us in helping these families in our school community by selecting a heart from the Holiday Hearts tree when you visit the school or attend the Thanksgiving Feast.  You can purchase a gift card in any denomination (please write the amount on the card).


Please place your gift card in an envelope marked “Holiday Hearts” and return it to Teasley by Monday, December 12th.  All gift cards should be placed in one of the black payment boxes or the safe.

If you have any questions please contact Sherise Harris (Counselor for Kindergarten -2nd), or Corinna Oliver (Counselor for 3rd – 5th) at 770-437-5945.  Thank you for your support and generosity!
