Cedar Park High School-Christmas Tree Cards– Working with FCCLA, Key Club had participated in the volunteer opportunity called the Christmas Tree Card Gift Donations. There would be a Christmas tree set up at the front office of the school. This tree carried cards that held information within them. This information included the name of a child, what their hobbies are, and what they would like for Christmas. Individuals would take these cards from the Christmas tree and purchase the child's Christmas wish. These purchased gifts would be brought to the front office. These gifts are for less fortunate children from various church organizations. - Ayah Alomari
