Clash for a Cure Assembly- 2nd-6th graders meet the players

I'm excited to announce that Elena Nicholson is coming to Central MI on 9/19 and 9/20! Please join us for a special time as we hear how a simple Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift helped change her life! When she was just 8 years old, she and her sister were moved from an abusive, poverty-stricken home into an orphanage in the former Soviet Union. At a time when she was feeling unloved, she was handed a shoebox gift. It was the first gift she had ever received. With the gift, Elena was given hope. Fortunately, a loving family from the US adopted Elena and her sister! For over 25 years, Operation Christmas Child has been sending shoebox gifts filled with toys, school supplies & hygiene items to children around the world affected by war, poverty & natural disasters. It’s a fun way for people of all ages to have a global impact! Join us at this free, informational event to hear how you can send a shoebox gift & make a difference! Join us to hear Elena's testimony this Thursday or Friday! These informational events are free and open to the public. Shoeboxes will also be available. Thank you!
