Making Christmas special… with shoeboxes

The kids at Columbia Park and other elementary schools have been filling shoeboxes with all kinds of small items for children in other parts of the world through the Samaritan’s Purse annual Operation Christmas Child campaign.

Generous CPE students filled 86 shoeboxes this year, 36 more than last year. The shoeboxes were dropped off to the Alliance Church.

Here are a few images of the CPE kids in action:
