Dear Parents,
Don't forget about Operation Christmas Child.
It works like this; you find an empty shoe box and go to the dollar store. You fill the shoe box with items like pencils, paper, stuffed animals, a Bible, non-weapon toys etc. We will wrap them in class and I will make sure they get sent on their way. If you do not have a shoe box, please just send in some items and I'll make sure there is a shoe box to put them in. There is an $7 shipping cost. Please send in as much as you can afford toward the shipping and I will make up the difference (Lord willing). Not too long ago there was a missionary who came to our church to speak about a village he had visited and most of the children there had their shoe boxes. He commented on how happy they were to receive them. So, this year, I hope and pray that we can give this Christmas to those less fortunate than we are. Won’t you join me in this? Here is the website for more information: http://www.samaritanspurse.org/OCC.asp?MPGID=1
All the shoe boxes must be turned in to me by November 1st. This will give us time to wrap them.
Your students seem very motivated to participate so I hope you will join in their enthusiasm.
In Him,
Mrs. Lehoux
