Most people have heard the saying, "It is better to give, than to receive," and fifth grade students in the Spring Hope Elementary Spirit Club recently put these words into action. The students packed four shoe boxes that will be sent to children in other countries as part of Operation Christmas Child, a division of the Billy Graham Evangelism Association.
Students packed the shoe boxes with everything from crayons, coloring books and small toys to soap, washcloths and toothbrushes. Wrapped in purple, yellow, green and red, the boxes were coded with a tracking number that will allow the students to track their gifts to the countries where they are distributed. Knowing they were helping those less fortunate than they, brought smiles to the faces of the fifth graders at Spring Hope Elementary.
