Starting on December 2, 2011 Candy Cane Grams are being sold for students and teachers to purchase and send to their special someone. The grams will be sold until December 8, 2011 and can be purchased at lunch in front of the main office. These special little gifts only cost one dollar and one can even attach a note relaying to the friend or loved one a personalized message. The treats will be delivered to the candy cane recipients during their second period on Monday the 12th of December.
Student Council Advisor JoAnne Moreno says that these candy grams are a great way to give back to the Spartan community. The money raised from the grams will go to the Interact Club at TJ. The money will then be put toward holiday baskets that the club puts together for less fortunate families. “It’s nice knowing that you can help everyone celebrate the holidays and give back to the community,” said President of the Interact Club and Student Council member Daniela Cardona.
These grams are also a plus when trying to figure out a Christmas present. “It’s a very easy and affordable present to send to a friend or loved one,” said Cardona. “It’s also a great way to remind people during the holiday season how thankful you are for them.”
So Spartans, gather up some change and go buy a Candy Cane Gram for a special someone. “I’ve already bought a couple grams for my closest friends,” said Senior Rachel Leiker. “I love being able to brighten their holiday season.” This year will also be different from any other, because a special visitor will be delivering the grams!
