SAMARITAN’S PURSE

Thank you to those who have been bringing in items for the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. This project is a joint effort between students in all school divisions and students in NHS. High school students wishing to participate may bring in donated items to their homeroom. The homeroom with the most donations will receive a dress down day when we return from Thanksgiving Break on Monday, November 27th.

This is a required service project for all NHS members. NHS members should turn in their shoebox items to Ms. Collum.

The deadline for all donations is November 13th.

What a blessing to be a blessing!

Middle School News:
~ We had a blessed time at our “Recharge” chapels last week and we are thankful for all God is doing in our middle school students.
~ Our 1st Semester service project is in full swing. Please encourage your students to bring in items for us to pack shoeboxes for children around the world. Our goal is to pack 150 shoeboxes right here on our campus. In order to do this, we need all students to bring in items from the attached list (you may bring items listed on any color team). Students will receive community service hours for the time spent packing shoeboxes on campus.
~ November 13th is our Middle School Fall Play in the Fine Arts Theatre at 6:30 p.m.
