Once returned they will send a replacement pack with their new photo. If your child is new or was absent on the original photo day, please have them get their photo taken, you may also order a packet (order forms are still available in the school office).

 Samaritans' Purse -
Operation Christmas Child Last week our Lower & Middle School Students heard from a representative from Samaritan's Purse. She gave the students a handout regarding the Operation Christmas Child program, and gave them a challenge to see which class could bring in the most filled shoeboxes to be sent overseas for this program. We are thrilled to be a part of this ministry, and last year we even received correspondence from a child who was the recipient of a gift box from ODCA! We encourage you to make this a family project in making a gift box (we have extra boxes available in the office if you need one). If you are not able to put together a box but would still like to be a part of this ministry - it costs $7.00/shoebox to ship them overseas. Would you consider supporting the cause by sending in funds to help ship what is donated? If so, please send your cash contribution in an envelope marked (Shipping Samaritan's Purse)
Last day to submit filled shoebox or cash mailing donation is Friday, November 15th 9:00 a.m.
