Grade Eagles in Action 2019
3rd Grade is on a mission, with the help of God, to help hungry children and families in our community and the world. Throughout the school year, 3rd grade will purchase items using money collected from our chapel offerings in August and September to help the LaGrange Area Food Pantry. These items are non-food items like toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant, toilet paper. (There is also a collection bin located in the church narthex all year if you would like to donate items. The Food Pantry is always in need of cereal, pasta, and canned goods.) We will keep you posted on the items we purchase each month by the school office door. In addition, we will be packing meals at Feed My Starving Children later in September to help children in the world who are desperate for healthy food supplemented with vitamins, veggies, soy, rice, and prayers to help them grow. Thank you for helping us serve God with your offerings!

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 five boxes. This year, our sewing club members have created Christmas stockings that need filling. This morning, stockings were distributed to each classroom for filling. When one is filled, bring it to chapel as you would your regular chapel donations. Seventh graders will bring your offerings and donations to
Operation Support Our Troops (OSOT) – America, Inc.
on October 31, where they will volunteer their time stuffing more stockings for United States Service Members.
Please
bring the items listed below to school on Wednesdays during the month of October:
*AA & AAA Batteries
*New CD’s and DVD’s
*Fruit Snacks / Fruit Rollups (Individual Packs)
Chocolate Candy Bars / Gum
*Trail Mix (Individual Packs)
*Puzzle/Sudoko Books
*Granola Bars / Rice Krispie Bars / Individual Packs of Cookies
*Starlight Mints & Holiday Candy
*Slim Jims / Beef Jerky (Individually Wrapped)
*Licorice / Twizzlers (Individually Wrapped)
*Hand Warmers
*Unbreakable Christmas Ornaments
*I-Tunes Gift Cards
Letters and Cards for the Troops
Thank you for your support!
