OPERATION CLASSROOM NEWS

We had 20 people that signed in to help with packing on April 12th.  Seven churches were represented, and three pastors gave their time to help with this mission.

There were 46 boxes packed with school supplies, text books, sewing material with patterns and other items.  Also shipped were seven shovels, two picks, four rakes, one pitchfork, one garden hoe and five handsaws.

We want to thank the Cloverdale UMC for hosting our Spring Packing.  The ladies served a wonderful lunch.

The next packing will be in the Fall at Breden UMC in Terre Haute.  The date has not been set.  Now is the time to look for good used tennis shoes, flip flops, any school related items such as manual typewriters.  Bicycles are used by pastors and school teachers as transportation.  Also needed are non-electric hand tools for carpentry or agriculture for the vocational students.

If any individual or church is interested in sponsoring a student, scholarships are $100 per student.  You can contact me directly or go to www.operationclassroom for more details.

Again, thank you Cloverdale UMC and everyone who helped with this mission.  See you in the Fall!
