SSHS Gives Back

Dear Parents/guardian,

 

Our Student Advisory Council, along with the Sugarloaf Senior High School student body, will be giving back this Christmas.  We are partnering with the internationally recognized group, Samaritan’s Purse, who runs Operation Christmas Child, to fill up shoe boxes with gifts for children in over 15 continents.   This group, presided by Billy Graham’s son, Franklin Graham, brings these boxes to the children in developing and underdeveloped countries with the purpose of initiating conversations with local governments and piloting incentives to help members of these communities.  One example of this is building fresh water wells for communities.  This being the organization’s 25th Anniversary, we, as a united Sugarloaf Senior High School body, would like to take part in providing gifts for these children. 

 

November 14th is the deadline for submitting items.  Let’s fill up these shoe boxes!  Let’s give back!
