Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child (sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse) helps provide for needy children worldwide and is a great opportunity to give out of the abundance that God has given to us. This year, each PRE-K – 5TH GRADE CLASS will be filling two shoeboxes to send, and collections will take place between October 9 and November 3. Here’s how you can help:
- Each class will fill two shoeboxes (one for a girl and one for a boy)
-
We are asking every Heritage student to bring in $3 (or MORE to cover for those students that don’t bring money in) to help cover the shipping and handling cost ($10 for each shoebox).
-
Ideas for what to include in shoeboxes can be found at https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/what-goes-in-my-shoebox-suggestions/
- Donate any of the following items by bringing them to the school (check your child’s classroom newsletter for details):
-
SMALL toys (that can fit in a small shoebox) – small cars, dolls, stuffed animals, yo-yos, jump ropes, toys that light-up or make noise, etc. PLEASE, NO WAR-RELATED TOYS OR BREAKABLE ITEMS.
- School supplies – pens, pencils and sharpeners, crayons or markers, stamps and ink pad sets, coloring books, writing pads or paper, solar calculators
- Hygiene items – toothbrush, mild bar soap, comb, brush, washcloths, etc. (NO TOOTHPASTE)
- Other miscellaneous items that a child would enjoy – watches, picture books (no words), sunglasses, flashlights (with extra batteries), ball caps, socks, T-shirts, hair clips, etc. (NO CANDY OR FOOD of any kind!)

Sports Update
Volleyball Game Recap
On Monday, the Eagles played the Cedar Valley Christian. The 5/6 team had a slow start and dug themselves into a hole. When they started moving and communicating with each other, they began to chip away at the score. They ended up winning both sets, and the match, with the same scores of 25-19. In the 7/8 match, the girls struggled in the first set to keep their serves and hits in bounds and found themselves out of system, falling in the 18-25. In the second and deciding third sets, the girls made the necessary adjustments. Behind several ace serves from Grace Barnes, Miriam McDonald, and Sydney Vrban, the girls were able to pull away and win the final two sets, 25-16 and 15-4.
On Tuesday, both Eagles teams played INCA. In the 5/6 game, it was a battle of the serves. INCA would make a deep run with several strong servers, and then we would chip away at their lead with some of our strong servers. It took three sets to decide, but in the end the Eagles fell the Patriots with scores of 22-25, 25-17, and 8-15. In the 7/8 game, the girls had a better night with their serving. In the first game, Grace Dalmasso rattled off around 10 serves in a row, and the Eagles kept the train moving forward from there, winning in two sets 25-16 and 25-17.
