Editor, Manteca Bulletin,
As most of you know, our community was recently devastated to learn of the horrific vehicle accident that involved two of our Manteca families.  The school aged children attended Brock Elliott elementary and Sierra High school.  As a school we have decided to help the family out the best way we thought possible.  We are making a “giving tree” of gift cards for both families.  Our hope is to ease a bit of the financial burden that these families face.
After realizing just how tight of a community Manteca is and knowing that this tragic event has effected the entire Manteca community, we have decided to open this donation up to all of our Manteca community.  If you would like to donate any amount of gift cards to places such as grocery stores, restaurants, gas cards, Target or Wal-Mart, please drop these cards off during office hours to the Brock Elliott elementary school office this week.  
Thank you in advance for opening your heart and coming together as a community to support our Manteca families in this time of tragedy.
