3rd Grade Service Project: Christmas Boxes for the Community

Our 3rd grade students are leading the effort to collect items to make Christmas Gift Boxes for our community. Please read below:

OPERATION CHRISTMAS BOXES – Deadline for Donations:    Friday, December 9^th

It has been a holiday tradition for Hazelwood Elementary students and staff to collect items for Christmas boxes for the elderly in our community.  We believe this project is a wonderful way to show the spirit of giving and caring.  There are many elderly residents in Haywood County who need our help to ensure they have a wonderful Christmas this year.   Each classroom will have boxes available where your child may put items they bring.  Listed below are some suggested items:

• Canned goods with pop top lids
• Liquid dish detergent
• Toilet paper (4 pack)
• Batteries
• Socks (both men and women)
• Nail files or clippers
• Candy
• Bars of soap (or liquid hand soap)
• Small blankets or throws
• Pens and notepads
• Postage stamps
• Hand and body lotion
• Flashlight
• Paper towels
• Light bulbs
• Toothpaste and toothbrush
• Shampoo and conditioner
• Gloves
• Magazines
• Snacks – crackers, cookies, popcorn, hot chocolate mix, etc.
• Instant oatmeal and grits
• Combs or brushes
• Wet Ones or Clorox Wipes
