Mitten Tree


Once again, Noroton Presbyterian Nursery School will be participating in the Mitten Tree. We ask that our families please bring a new pair of mittens, socks, hats or gloves to the classroom. The classrooms will go as a group to the Mitten Tree, where each child will place their gift item on the tree. These items will be taken to Person To Person following our Christmas Chapel on December 17th.

Thank you for supporting this important ministry.
