Tappan would like to support our students who need supplies this winter with clothing and gift items from our Winter Giving program. If your family is in need of items this winter, please complete the following form. Please complete 1 form for each Tappan student you have. We will do our best to help meet the needs with generous donations from our Tappan and greater Ann Arbor community.

If you are a family that would like to help support another family, we will be developing a wish list of items requested that will be sent out at a later date. If you prefer, gift cards to Target, Amazon, Costco, or Meijer are greatly appreciated and can be used to fulfill wish list items.

A limited number of yearbooks are available each year. Pre-ordering now guarantees your child a copy.

Before ordering: Make sure you know the name of your child’s Advisory Teacher.

• Go to www.yearbookforever.com to purchase a yearbook with a credit card, debit card, or PayPal.
