Send Items from Now Until November 18th!
As our class service project this year, we voted to support Operation Christmas Child! We watched an exciting DVD Friday that told us all about it, and we can’t wait to get started. We will be making both boy and girl boxes, all for children in the 5-9 age range, which is closest to our ages.
Each child is asked to contribute in some way. I’m not setting a minimum donation requirement, but I am asking children to give generously. In fact, I would love to see each child spend a little of his/her own money (allowance, birthday money, chore money, etc.) on something for the boxes. In this way, they will feel much more connected to the project, and they will get to experience the joy that comes from truly giving of yourself to others.
Brochures went home in Brown Envelopes. They included more information, and clearly defined what is and is not allowed to go in the boxes. As I’ve told the children, both the actual plastic shoeboxes and the $7 shipping fee per box have already been donated by a class sponsor. In fact, the class sponsor has agreed to pay for as many boxes as we can possibly fill, so there is no limit!
Thank you so much for your support of us and our mission!
