FESTIVAL OF TREES

FESTIVAL OF TREES: Now in its 9th year, Reading's popular Festival of Trees event returns December 4th and 5th at Parker Middle School, 45 Temple Street, Reading.

Sponsored by the Reading Technology and Education Foundation, Inc. (RTEF), this important fund raising event not only spreads a little holiday cheer, but also is the RTEF's major fundraiser, supporting Reading's teachers, by funding teacher initiated technology grants.  

Everyone will enjoy seeing the beautifully decorated, themed trees.  Buy a raffle ticket (or many!) and you could be taking home a tree, already decorated!  Kids can decorate cookies and listen to some wonderful stories.

Trees are generously donated by local residents, oganizations, neighborhoods and businesses.   If you are interested in donating a tree or an item for our silent auction, or volunteering please contact Debbie Boschetti at rtef@reading.k12.ma.us.
