Wow! Words cannot express how thankful I am for such a wonderful, giving group of students and parents! We collected THREE Priority Mail boxes for our troops and a great crate full of items for our nursing home buddy, Jim.
The profits from our popcorn sales over the next couple weeks will be going towards shipping the boxes for our troops.
For our troops we collected a variety: magazines, puzzles, cards, dice games, wipes, candy, snacks, pencils, pens, notebooks....it is AMAZING! We also made some Christmas cards to put in the box!
For Jim: We collected a crate full of items: Colts neck pillow, Colts hat, sugar free candy...wonderful! We also collected about $20 to spend our nursing home buddy. We also usually send a gift basket around Easter time. Since we had such a great collection of things for our Christmas basket, I plan on saving the $20 and spending it on his Easter basket. That is more than enough to spend on the Easter basket and we won't have to have another collection when that time comes.
Thank you all again for your generous donations! What a great example for your children during this Christmas season!!
Also....Each year I like to collect your old Christmas cards. Before you throw them away, please cut off the front and send them to school with your child! These make great cards for our troops and for our nursing home buddies each year! Thank you!!
