Christmas Shoebox Drive Success!

In helping to spread joy and the tangible love of Jesus during this Christmas season, one of the grade 7 classes at our school organized a heartwarming campaign that brought students and staff together to support the Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child Shoebox drive. 

The campaign involved collecting filled shoeboxes, each packed with thoughtful gifts and necessities, as well as collecting individual items which the class used to pack more shoeboxes. 

The students and staff enthusiastically embraced the initiative, showcasing the school's commitment to compassion and community involvement. Together, the school was able to donate 85 filled shoeboxes!

Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child is a charitable project with the purpose to provide Christmas gifts to children in need around the world. The boxes are sent to children in over 100 countries, bringing joy and spreading the message of love and hope during the Christmas season.

On behalf of the school, we want to thank everyone who participated! A special thank you to Mrs. Cole and her Grade 7's for organizing and promoting this joyous act of community building.
