Cereal & Mitten Tree

The Cereal/Mitten tree has been a tradition at Linden Meadows School for many years.

Families are encouraged to bring in a box of cereal (low in sugar like Cheerios or Rice Krispies) and/or a pair of mittens to hang on the tree outside the school office.

The items are donated Westgrove School for their breakfast program.

The tree will be up from now until the Holiday Concert. Please donate if you are able.
