For the last 2 weeks, 4th grade has been participating in Operation Christmas Child. The mission of this program is to demonstrate love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. We started out agreeing to collect items for two children, but because our 4th grade families were so generous and eager to help out we ended up helping four children instead! Items included in the shoeboxes were things such as toothbrushes, hair brushes, school supplies, little gifts, and handwritten notes from each student. Our hearts are full. Thank you so much to parents that helped with this project!
