Operation Christmas Child

5^th Grade Community Service Project

Due: Friday, November 15^th

Decide whether you want to fill your shoe box for a girl or boy. Then decide which age group: 2-4 years old, 5-9 years old, or 10-14 years old. Use the plastic shoe box provided to fill with items that are appropriate for the age group you picked. Remember to look at the website to make sure you don’t pack anything that is prohibited. When you have finished packing your box, bring it back to school. We will include our friendly letter, label, postage, and secure them for delivery.

*You do NOT need to include the $9 donation as this has already been included in your “Field Trip” funds that you have already paid for.

As part of an in-class assignment, you will write a letter to the child that the shoe box will go to. This will be written in class and will be a writing grade. If you choose, you may include a picture of yourself, as well as the SCHOOL ADDRESS, for them to write you back.
