Operation Christmas Child Sends 53 Boxes to Children in Need

Students packed 53 boxes for Operation Christmas Child.

Students packed 53 boxes for Operation Christmas Child.

On Thursday, November 16, the Helping Hands Club held its annual Christmas “Packing Party”.  The Helping Hands Club worked together with CHS staff to pack 53 total boxes for Operation Christmas Child.

As a school, the students and staff members donated items such as toys, books, and socks, etc. At our packing party, the students pack the items into a shoebox for a young girl or boy around the world.  After the shoeboxes were wrapped, packed, and labeled, they were then dropped off at a collection center and will soon be delivered to children all around the world! This year, we will be tracking our boxes to see where they will go.

A special thank you goes out to the following teachers for donating items and shoeboxes:  Mrs. Moyer, Mr. Shimmel, Mr. Barsody, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Nicklas, Mr. Yingling, Mrs. Hinchcliffe, and Mrs. Yingling. Ms. Boczar, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Zelenky, and Mrs. Garito
