Fifth Graders discover the real meaning of Christmas!

The 5th graders at Schaller-Crestland Elementary are giving of themselves this Christmas.  We have adopted two men in our military service to send care packages to.  Mandi Lange is one of our 5th graders and her dad, Mike is stationed in Afganistan. Mitchell McCabe, from Storm LAke is a family friend of the Bellcock family, and he is also stationed in Afganistan.  We are sending things like: powder, lotion, shampoo, carmex, toothpaste, hard candy, flavored water mixes, body soap, and magazines.  WE also wrote letters to them asking lots of questions about their jobs and what life is like everyday over there. I'm very proud of our students for giving so much this Christmas holiday.  I'm especially thankful for caring people like Sam Wandrey from our community.  It costs $14.75 to send one box overseas.  Sam has donated $100 for the shipping of all our boxes.  Thank you, Sam!!!
