Thank you to the 23 students and their families in Miss Dawn’s PreK4 class who generously donated items to fill sixteen shoe boxes for the homeless that were distributed on Christmas Eve in Atlantic City. The shoe boxes were wrapped and handed out in Bryant Park and at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission as part of a larger effort organized by Wellspring Church in Mays Landing. The donated items in the boxes included toiletries, hats, gloves, socks, and small Bibles. Miss Dawn said her class decided to become involved in the shoe box service project for the homeless after reading a Christmas story in class entitled The Sparkle Box by Jill Hardin. The story focuses on honoring Jesus on His birthday by finding ways to serve or give to others.
