7th Grade Eagles in Action October 2022

Later this month, we will be helping the organization Operation Support Our Troop by filling stockings with goodies for our servicemen and women. Our kids sewing club So Kids, Sew has been making some of these stockings after school on Monday afternoons. The 7th grade class will be collecting specific goodies for these care packages, along with making Christmas ornaments. Monetary donations collected during chapel will go to offset the shipping costs of the very generous care packages as they are shipped around the world! 

Thank you for your generous support of our 3rd grade Eagles in Action project in September. We will purchase $95 in food and non-food items every month through the end of this school year for the LaGrange Area Food Pantry! We would like to thank the 5th grade for donating the profits from Mrs. Wykert's Mall; thank you to church members for Coffee Hour donations; thank you for food dropped off at Meals to Go on October 2nd; and thank you families for the offerings the children brought each week. We have learned that we need each other, and when we serve others, we are serving Jesus. Thank you!
