I know that I usually let the children do the blogging, but today I felt that I had to share my impressions of the rewarding activity that we have undertaken this week.
At the beginning of the week Mrs Haylock asked us to open our minds to consider the plight of children in under privileged countries that wouldn't be getting a Christmas present.
Operation Christmas Child has been linking people from all over the world since 1990, filling a need and bring a great deal of joy.
After our initial discussions we decided to create a special Christmas box for a boy between the ages of 4 - 9. The children wrote a list of what they thought would be appropriate gifts and we discussed why somethings could, and couldn't be sent. I really do have a class of great thinkers!
I am so proud of all of you. You and your families have astounded me with your generosity. We raised so much that we managed to fill a second box, this one ready for a little girl somewhere in the world to share the joy of Christmas. Letting them know that somewhere in this world, a bunch of wonderful, caring and thoughtful kids are thinking of them.
You have made a change ... there is nothing more powerful than that.
From a very proud Ms. B
