Operation Christmas Child is a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse. Gifts filled with hygiene items, small toys, clothing and other items are packed in shoe boxes and distributed to hurting children all over the world. Samaritan’s Purse places a booklet in each box in the language of the country to which the box is sent to introduce the children and their families to Jesus. We who have so many material blessings can share the love of Christ with those who have so little. For more information, go to

The offerings collected during chapel every week are designated for a certain ministry each school year. The children are supporting Compassion International this year. They are collecting money in order to sponsor two children. This is a great way for the students to share their love with children all over the world.
The Early Childhood and Elementary department participate in the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Trike-a-thon each year. The school has raised over $10,000 over the years they’ve been riding.
