Box of Joy
This month St. Peter Catholic School will be participating in Box of Joy, a Christmas gift ministry organized by local Catholic schools, parishes and groups nationwide. We will bless children suffering from extreme poverty by filling boxes with toys and other gifts, sharing the joy of Christmas and planting seeds of hope through the Gospel. We encourage everyone to pack a Box of Joy! Make it a fun family tradition! Choose the gender and age range of the child your family wants to bless. Then, have fun on your family shopping spree to personally select the items you feel a special boy or girl would really like! For more info and the do’s and don’ts check out boxofjoy.org
Last year, we participated in the outreach and our students did an amazing job! This year, we have set a goal to bless 200 impoverished children in Latin America and the Caribbean!
Boxes will be available at school and at parent teacher conferences; the deadline for returning your packed Box of Joy will be November 14. Please bring your filled boxes to Mrs. Jones’s classroom. Donations to cover the shipping of the gifts overseas can be made online at crosscatholic.org/box-of-joy/online/#shipping
