Dear GCA Parents:
The holidays are quickly approaching and we are excited to be participating in the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child project this year. The small gifts of love and messages of hope through Jesus Christ are delivered to needy children overseas.
Parents and students can start shopping together and have fun collecting small toys, school supplies, and other small gifts for an impoverished child. You will find a list of items below that can be placed in your shoebox for either a boy or girl in age ranges of 2-4, 5-9, and/or 10-14 years old. After your small gifts are placed in your shoebox, we invite you or your student to write a small note to introduce a hurting child to God’s love and place it in your box. The classes will be having a contest to see which class can bring in the most shoeboxes, and there will be a special surprise for the class that brings in the most shoeboxes.
Please note the list of suggested toys and the list of those not acceptable. Your child will need to have his or her shoebox in no later than November 14th. To help defray the cost of shipping, Samaritan’s Purse requests $7.00 be included in an envelope with your shoebox. When wrapping your shoebox, please wrap the lid separately from the box so that the box is not sealed; then place the lid on the shoebox and wrap two rubber bands around the width and length of your box. Slip a piece of paper (do not tape) indicating the age range (2-4, 5-9, or 10-14) and whether the shoebox is for a boy or girl. We will print out the labels and attach them to the lids before taking them to the drop off site.
Thank you for your support!
