Shoe Boxes for Soldiers
Dr. Losier community, it is once again that time of year and we are starting to gather the materials necessary to fill the boxes for Soldiers. This will be our final year to participate in this project, as it is being moved to another part of the country.
This is our seventh year (or so) and we would like to make it our best year ever. We are asking for any donations that you may be able to provide. Please see the attached list of needed items. The boxes will be given to Canadian Soldiers overseas at Christmas.
All materials can be brought to Mrs. Squire’s classroom. Thank you in advance for your support. You will be making the lives of a Canadian soldier far from a home a little better.
