Operation Christmas Child

This is the twelfth year that HAA will be participating in Operation Christmas Child thanks to our wonderful 1st grade teacher, Ms. Datil. Last year we collected over 100 boxes for children around the world, and we hope to surpass that goal again this year. Please note that boxes are due this Friday, November 18. Please turn in your boxes to Ms. Datil. She and the 1st grade class will go through all the boxes to ensure that they are ready to be shipped. For directions on packing boxes as well as printing out labels please watch the videos below.One very cool feature is that you can now track your box to see what country it goes to if you print out the label!

Here are explicit directions for what to pack and how to pack your box.







Here is a heartwarming video of a child in the Philippines (my parents' home country, so it is dear to me) who had received an Operation Christmas Child box.
