HI EVERYONE!
Some of you received a text regarding Charlotte's school collecting items for the military overseas. As you may guess (or know), our forces overseas are away from family for months/years at a time and lack alot of the everyday things we take for granted. Therefore I am posting this up on our site & hope that some of you will help those fighting overseas have a great Christmas! Below are just examples of what is needed/requested, so anything else you can think of would be greatly appreciated. They are also collecting shoe boxes, wrapping papper, ribbon for the students decorate the packages. Deadline for donations is December 10 & Charlotte & I would be very happy to pick them up from you!
Thanks for your support - Michelle
