Care Packages for the Troops
Fifth graders at School Street Elementary sent 62 boxes of Christmas cheer to local people serving in the military.
30 of the boxes were sent to Iraq. The rest were sent to our local National Guard Unit at Fort Polk, Louisiana.
The students baked 50 dozen cookies, which were included in boxes that also contained instant oatmeal, powdered drink mix and hard candy. The students also sent cards and letters to the troops.
Their teacher, Patsy Arrowsmith, says the students got a good response from the community and quite a few community organizations chipped in.
