Through discussion about "giving back and being grateful for what you have. I presented an idea to D4 and asked them if they want to "give back" to a unfortunate little boy and girl, that may even live in another country. They all exclaimed " Yesssssss !!!!!!" I also added that the Operation Christmas Child Organization was our way to send our two boxes to a country across the world to children who are less fortunate and are unable to have anything for Christmas.
This sparked a huge discussion! " Ms. Davis can we fill a box too? " " I wanna do it too, Ms. Davis! "
"Ok. guys lets see who can raise at least $ 7.00 to pay for shipping and I will put in the rest to fill the boxes with toys and goodies !" ( Participation was totally optional, not mandatory, though many of them chose to give)
And the race begin .......
Day by Day for a week or two, girls and boys came in with change, dollar bills, pennies, anything that they wanted to donate! Some even went to the store and purchased some items that they thought the children would like .

We hope you enjoy our gifts!
Yep, even the boys were excited to fill the boxes for a boy somewhere around the globe.
So ignore the tough looks LOL.
Finally, at the final count the girls raised about $15.00 and the boys raised about $5.00. We practically overflowed each box.
Woooooooooowwwwwww, way to go D4 ! we will make this holiday great for a boy and a girl somewhere around the globe !
(Below) Here we go D4, there are our two boxes ready to be shipped away!!
D4 GETS A THUMBS UP!!!
Even though we don't have much, it's never too hard to give a little of what you have !!!
