Operation Gratitude

Kelsey Lanham, Contributor

The PHS Pay it Forward is doing a care box supply drive for Operation Gratitude, a non profit organization that sends care packages to troops that are stationed overseas.  Students and staff are encouraged to participate by purchasing an item written on the back of an ornament hanging on the Operation Gratitude tree on the PHS main floor.

 The PHS Pay it Forward is collecting items for Operation Gratitude until December 21.  Ornaments are hanging on a Christmas tree on the first floor between Ms. Cutright and Dr. Walkers classrooms.  You are asked to take an ornament get the item that is on the back of the ornament, purchase that item, and then put the item under the tree.

In 2017 alone 283,000 care packages were sent to troops. This holiday season this year Operation Gratitude plans to deliver over 20,000 packages.
