The Student Council is participating in Operation Christmas Child this year. Operation Christmas Child sends gifts overseas to children who have never received a Christmas present. They are collecting shoe boxes to be filled with items that would be appropriate for the age group that the students is in and will be wrapped and sent to Romania via the Samaritan Purse Organization.
Each classroom will fill at least two shoe boxes. Suggested items: shoe boxes, activity books, small puzzles, colored pencils, crayons, small sticker books, playdoh, cards, hygiene items (toothbrush, tooth paste, combs, brushes, hair ties, soaps, lip gloss.), individually wrapped hard candies, socks, hats, mittens, and small stuffed animals. Remember that the items donated must fit in a shoe box. There will be a box for donations in front of the All Purpose room.
They are also requesting small monetary donations to pay for the $7 postage for each box. Cash donations can be sent in an envelope addressed to Student Council. All items must be brought in by November 14th. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
