The Official Shoebox Count

 
Lower School exceeded our goal of 1 box per student by more than 100 boxes! Students, teachers and staff joined together to donate shoebox gifts to children in Haiti! The official count as of today is 474 boxes and 9 Teacher Boxes.

I am very thankful to all who participated in our annual Christmas Mission Project. Thank you all for sharing God's love to others in such desperate need.

We are also very thankful to parent volunteers who worked over the course of several days to prepare and package all of the boxes.

  2. It was a joy seeing the excitement of my kids getting items together to donate. It gave them a moment to step out of the comfortable lifestyle they have and truly feel for less fortunate children. We were thankful to participate and will continue missionary work.
