SISSETON DONATIONS
Q. Why are we talking about Sisseton art supplies when we just finished collecting and distributing them? 
A. Because there are wonderful sales going on! 

The children really appreciate their gifts so we want to continue this COTC tradition next year. Now is the perfect time to purchase school supplies in order to get the most value for your money. 

We are collecting  markers, crayons, scissors, and glue sticks  for next summer. 

This week Office Depot, Target, Meijer, and probably other stores, have Crayola markers (8-pack, thick or thin) for $1, Crayola crayons (24 pack) for $.50, Fiskar scissors (pointed or blunt) for $1.49, and glue sticks for $.25!

So when shopping this week, please consider getting a head start on next year's donation. We will gladly store your purchases until the 2019 mission trip! Once again, thank you so much for your very generous support of this project!!
