Operation Christmas Child

Dear Parents

As a school we have chosen to support three charities this Christmas season. 

The first is Operation Christmas Child.  Our school has been challenged to fill 30 boxes.  We are asking that each child bring one or two items that can be placed into a shoe box and sent overseas via Samaritans Purse.   The boxes MAY NOT be filled with the following items:

        Decks of cards           food or chewy crumbly candy including gum

        Used items                liquids or items that could freeze, melt or break

Items that could scare or harm a child including toy guns, knives and war related toys

ITEMS TO INCLUDE COULD BE:

School supplies         ie:  pen, pencils, crayons, colouring book, notepad, calculator

Toys and other gifts          ie:  stuffed animals, socks, hair clips, t-shirts, loose individually wrapped hard candy sealed in a bag, small musical instruments

Hygiene items           ie:  bar soap, toothbrush, washcloth

 

All items must be at the school by Nov. 6^th so we can pack

Our boxes and have them into the drop off location by Nov.7^th

 

We will also have a mitten tree and a collection of items for the Men’s Shelter in Lloydminster – look for details on these projects in upcoming Monday Notes.
