The Character Counts Committee invites you to participate in “Warming the Lancer Spirit” Holiday Drive, which began November 30th and will end December 18th.

Gloves, scarves, mittens, hats, socks and slippers for all ages can be donated and hung on the tree in the front office. These items will be donated to local families in need.

This is Linganore’s fourth year of the giving tree, beginning in 2012.

“We turned the Christmas tree more into a remembrance of Sandy Hook that year,” said Character Counts Coordinator, Mrs. Dawn Aburto.

The giving tree not only helps families from Linganore but also our feeder schools such as New Market Elementary and Middle.

“The school guidance counselors call and tell me about, say, five girls in need, and then I go to the schools and drop off extra items after the collection,” said Mrs. Aburto.

Come by the front office, drop off some donations and even hang them on the tree yourself!

Last year’s Giving Tree was full by the holiday break.
