CCS - Student Council

Ring the Bell

Community Service for the Holidays - The student council will be "ringing the bell" for the Salvation Army beginning the weekend of December 4th. Students and adults will be ringing the bell at Lavigne's IGA, and Alix's True Value. Please support these businesses and our Kettle Drive. 90% of the money raised stays in our community to help local families. If you would like to donate your time to ring the bell you can sign up in Mrs. Stumpfx's office. Any and all help would be appreciated.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

This year Student Council will be sponsoring a project that is a wonderful opportunity to enrich your Christmas. If you would like to participate the rules are as follows:
    1. Use an empty shoe box (standard size) or a small plastic container, you can wrap the box (lid separately), but wrapping is not required.
    2. Determine whether your gift will be for a boy or a girl, and the child's age category, 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14. Cut out the appropriate label shown below. Mark the correct information and tape to the top of the box.
    3. Fill with gifts. Ideas are: TOYS (small car, ball, stuffed animal, kazoo, harmonica, yo-yo, jump rope, small Etch A Sketch, slinky), SCHOOL SUPPLIES (pens, paper, crayons, markers, stamps, books), HYGIENE ITEMS (toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, washcloth, small towels), OTHER (hard candy, lollipops, mints, gum -please double bag all candy-T-shirts, socks, caps, sunglasses, hair supplies, watch, jewelry, flashlight with batteries), A PERSONAL NOTE and or photo of you/your family...if you include your address the child may write back.
    4. Do NOT include: used or damaged items, war-related items, chocolate, food, liquids or lotions, medications or vitamins, snow globes, glass containers or aerosol cans.
    5. Include a check for $7.00. This covers the cost of shipping. Please make the check payable to Samaritan's Purse and place it in an envelope on top of the gift items inside your box.
    6. Place a rubber band around the shoe box and lid and drop off in either the elementary or high school office at Chateaugay Central School by November 19th

Last year over 8 million shoe boxes were collected and sent to children all around the world. Each year the boxes are sent to different countries. If you would like to learn more about the program check out www.samaritanspurse.org
