Operation Send a Smile
On Friday,
November 16th, 7th Grade Social Study Students from Twin Oaks and Hidden Oaks
learned about military life in the day of an American Soldier in Afghanistan. Master Sergeant Mat Weber and Master Sergeant Russell are recipients of Care Packages sent by Prior
Lake Middle School students in previous years as part of the program Operation
Send a Smile. The servicemen visited our school to help students
understand the difference a care package can make as our 2012 Operation Send a
Smile program gets under way.
6th, 7th, and 8th
grade students from Twin Oaks and Hidden Oaks are collecting items (gum, candy,
beef jerkey, letters, etc.) for American Soldiers stationed overseas. Last
year, we mailed almost 120 boxes to different Soldiers stationed in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Everyday, the freedoms that we enjoy are provided for
us by an American soldier. This is our opportunity to say thank you for
the many brave men and women stationed around the world who are away from their
families. Supporting our troops is a gift we give ourselves as they serve
on our behalf! We will be supporting men and women in uniform and asking
nothing in return except the honor of letting them know they are appreciated
and never forgotten! Please send your donations for Operation Send a Smile by Friday, December 14th.
