Over the past several years, Carstairs Elementary School has invited the Carstairs Playschool Society to join them in Operation Christmas Child. This is the creation and collection of shoe boxes filled with items that are then shipped overseas to needy children in many parts of the world. OCC Canada distributes shoe boxes to countries in Africa, Central and South America. For 2018, the hope is to collect an additional 20 000 boxes for the Ukraine, which is in need of cold weather items.

Shoe boxes will be collected on Thursday, November 22 at 2:15pm at Carstairs Elementary School. The playschool will be attending this assembly. We would love to have Carstairs Playschool families join as well, however, you will need to transport your child to the assembly. All children will need to be picked up from playschool at 2pm on this day.

For those who would like to participate by filling a shoe box, we will have them available in the classroom. Please stop by and pick one up.
