Support Our Troops

“Operation Santa”
	This year to help support our troops overseas during the holiday season, Cross Street Intermediate 
School will be taking part in “Operation Santa”.  We will be supporting two Marine Platoons, each having 
between 35 to 50 Marines.  We will be filling a stocking for each Marine.  Students will make cards that 
will be included with the stockings.  The following is a list of items we would like to fill the stockings 
with.  Please give any donations to your child’s homeroom teacher.  These are the suggestions:

Snack bars/Granola bars			                           Toothpaste
Snack packs					                                   Toothbrush

I would like to thank you in advance for your support.  Many of our families at CSIS have family 
members and friends that are currently serving or have previously served our country.  Being away from 
home is hard especially at the holidays.  This is our way of showing our thanks and support.
