2nd Quarter Service Project

For our second quarter service project, we will be collecting items for Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child provides shoeboxes filled with necessities and fun items to children in impoverished countries. We are asking each student to bring $1 AND an item from the list below in new condition to help their class sponsor a box. Each box costs $10 to send, and your monetary donations help us cover that cost. Please send money and items by November 8 (deadline extension). If you’d like to make additional donations, we gladly welcome them. Please see the list below for suggested items by grade level.

• Kindergarten – a toothbrush
• 1st grade – play dough
• 2nd grade – hairbrush
• 3rd grade – Hat (child sized) or hair accessories (ponytail holders, barrettes, etc.)
• 4th grade – coloring book or drawing pad
• 5th grade – stickers
• Middle School – small toy (yo-yo, jump rope, Lego set, toy cars, small stuffed animal or doll, ball)

Additional items/suggestions: (for those who’d like to donate more)

• Craft or jewelry kit
• Binoculars
• Puzzles
• Sunglasses

Please keep in mind that these items must fit in shoebox when purchasing them. Thanks in advance for your help in making this a success! We look forward to serving others through this project!
