Seventh Grade Eagles in Action Project
During the month of October, seventh graders are collecting stocking stuffers for service members in harm’s way during Christmas. Last year, students brought enough individual stocking stuffers to chapel to fill four boxes. This year, our sewing club members have created more than
50 stockings
that need filling.
Please
bring the items listed below to school. Stockings will be distributed to each classroom for filling. Seventh graders will bring your offerings and donations to
Operation Support Our Troops (OSOT) – America, Inc.
on November 1, where they will volunteer their time stuffing more stockings for United States Service Members.
*AA & AAA Batteries
*New CD’s and DVD’s
*Fruit Snacks / Fruit Rollups (Individual Packs)
Chocolate Candy Bars / Gum
