Broadview-Thomson K-8 Giving Tree Request: St. John Parish & School has had a relationship with BTK8 School for over a decade! Part of their Giving Tree helps students in need of gifts. This year, over 350 families have requested help. BTK8 still has 70 tags that have not been claimed. We hope that members of our community will consider taking a tag and donating. Please drop the gifts off in the Parish Office, and we will be happy to transport them to BTK-8. Click here to request a gift tag. Thank you in advance for your help with this important service. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT IN PLACE OF THE GIVING TREE.
