The Samaritan’s Purse shoeboxes have been filled and are en route to children around the world. Locally, the school has gathered toys, blankets, socks, hats, and gift cards to provide joy and warmth to children during the holidays.

Additionally, students participate in shopping at the “Christmas Cottage” to raise funds that support these charitable activities.

“Loving our community is what we love to do. At MCS, we want to be a school that is known for loving big, and once again, our families have shown just how incredible this community truly is,” Foreman said.

The projects reflect Maryville Christmas School’s commitment to community engagement and spreading holiday cheer both locally and globally.
