The grade 5-6 have taken on the initiative of collecting items in hopes of filling shoeboxes for children living in war, poverty, and disaster through Operation Christmas Child.  This is a wonderful opportunity for all M.R.S. students (K-8) to show empathy towards another by helping fill these shoeboxes. Each box is a powerful expression of hope and joy for each child that receives them.  Students, K-8 are asked to please bring in any donation of items for the shoeboxes over the next couple of weeks, October 12th-November 12th, 2021. For a list of ideas, please refer to the document "Ideas for Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes" on the homepage.
