First Grade Service Project : Operation Christmas Child
We are excited to be able to tell kids around the world about the gift of Jesus through Operation Christmas Child. Each grade will have a box to pack. This is how you can help us with our project:
·
Bring
one item to put in the box in your classroom (or more than one!)
·
Pick
something you would like to get.
·
Remember
, it has to be small
·
No food (not even toothpaste)
·
Donate
some money to help cover shipping costs.
The sooner you can bring your item, the better (no later than Nov. 20). We hope each class will fill at least one box! Thanks for helping us! First Grade
