Over
160 CVCS elementary students worked together to pack 15,000 meals, and have
packed about 75,000 meals over the past 4 years, according to the news release.
“The
timing of this project is perfect. As the world focuses on materialism, our
students are able to focus on the real reason we celebrate christmas, which is
the birth of Jesus.,” said Marnie Day, elementary school principal. “Jesus
loves and cares for us and this project gives our students an opportunity to do
that for students across the world.”
