Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Grade Four Religious Education classes will take part in Operation Christmas Child (Samaritans
Purse) once again this year. The purpose of this project is the help students in understanding the
desperate situations that exist around our world, and how we all have a part to play in doing
something to help out. Gift filled shoe boxes created with compassion and love are one way we can
show we care.
We are asking you to make any donations you feel you are able to and return them to school by
Monday, October 26th, 2015.
Listed below are the suggestions and guidelines for items to donate.
School Supplies - Items such as pens, pencils, pencil crayons, note pads, and picture books
Hygiene Items - Items such as: facecloth, toothbrush, comb, and soap. Please place soap in a
sealable bag
Toys & Other Gifts - Items such as: stuffed animals, small musical instruments, hair clips, toy
jewelry, t-shirts, and socks
DO NOT INCLUDE:
Decks of standard playing cards (other card games such as UNO are allowed)
Food or candy: Including gum (due to customs regulations)
Used items (due to customs regulations)
Toothpaste (due to customs regulations)
Liquids or items that could leak, melt, freeze, or break - Shampoo, creams, lip balm, bath gels,
mirrors, or glass, etc. (these can damage other items in the shoebox).
Items that can scare or harm a child - War-related toys, knives, and toy guns, etc.
Thank you so much for your continued support!
Mrs. Dana Farrell
