This holiday season, Northland Christian School joined with Operation Christmas Child to send gift boxes across the world to children in need. The elementary and secondary campuses came together as everyone packed boxes with toys, hygiene items, and school supplies to send out into the world. Northland’s Student Council organized the project, and as an incentive, the grade to bring the most boxes from high school, middle school, and the elementary campus wins a pazookie party, which is a giant cookie covered in ice cream.

The winners were the senior class, seventh grade and fourth grade. Thanks to everyone who brought boxes, Northland Christian was able to collect 377 boxes! Now 377 children who wouldn’t normally receive gifts this holiday season will get a box full of goodies!
