Since the end of October, students at Sabine Valley Campus have been collecting supplies to contribute to the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child project hosted by the campus SGA chapter. Each department had a specific list of items to be donated: business brought school supplies, welding and electrical students brought in toys, and health occupations contributed various hygiene items. Students, SGA officers, and instructors came together on Friday, November 11 to pack the campus goal of 20 boxes and prepare them to be shipped out. In order to raise money for the shipping cost of the boxes, students sold popcorn during Fridays’ events and had several generous donations from faculty and the community. SGA President Crystal Slater, Vice President Joshua Crooks, and electrical instructor Dennis Dziekan delivered the boxes to The Life Church in order to be shipped to the donation site so they can be sent to children in different parts of the world just in time for Christmas.
