Operation Christmas Child
Another reason I was so lax in blogging is that my room became grand central for Operation Christmas Child, a non-profit group that sends shoeboxes full of items to under-priveledged kids around the world.
It all started when one of my students – Susie, came up to me and asked if I would approach the staff about taking on this project throughout the school. Of course the teachers were more than happy to participate and each room was given a shoebox to fill, our goal was to fill 13 shoeboxes – one for each room.
Well we had great support with this charitable event and ended up filling 50 boxes! Wow!!!! The boxes were picked up by a mom and taken to the local high school.
Susie and I could not believe the support that we received from the community. Not only did we fill 50 boxes, but we also raised over $180.00 to help pay for the postage of sending the boxes overseas.
Was there something that your school did to help with charity?

What a wonderful idea for Operation Christmas Child. We are so happy it was so successful. Congratulations. This month we are doing a whole school walk around our neighbourhood about 4 times to raise money for Caritas Australia. Throughout our school we are all trying to help the poor and less fortunate by collecting and saving our own money to give to them. We walk a long distance to reprensent how far they have to walk to get water.
Hello, my name is Pedro. I participated in the Operation Christmas Child! My whole family sent 8 boxes in total! I’m happy to sew that others are also helping under-privileged children around the world! Our class blog is lisad6.edublogs.org and we are hoping to see a comment from your class soon!
This is amazing! It’s so great to see a whole community giving back to other communities around the globe. Your blog is very amusing, and your class seems very goofy judging form the class photo.
I really enjoy how you really keep the blog up to date and it seems like you post regularly. Blog on! 
That is very inspireing. I wish our school would do more fundraising I have done tons and always enjoy it!
