St. Charles Cardinals Enjoy Successful Volleyball Season
Operation Christmas Child
Through Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian Humanitarian Organization, the students at Immaculate Conception School in Val Caron have been busy collecting as many items as possible to fill 100 gift boxes to be transported all over the world through the Christmas Shoe Box Campaign, Operation Christmas Child.
Each of the classes at Immaculate was responsible for collecting items ranging from basic toiletries to small toys that will be distributed to less fortunate children so that they too may have the joy of opening a Christmas present this holiday season.
Congratulations to Immaculate Conception students, staff and parents in making Operation Christmas Child such a huge success.
