Holiday Cards for Troops in Bagdad, Iraq
Florida High is currently collecting holiday cards to send to troops in Iraq during this holiday season.
Scott Slik, a former soldier, is spearheading this endeavor, and is inviting the Florida High family to participate in encouraging our men and women in uniform in Iraq with holiday cards. They will be sent to the current Chaplain of Mr. Slik’s command in Bagdad.
All cards are welcome, whether generated by adult or student, but cards of older students, in particular, would be greatly appreciated, as these students are closer in age to many of the soldiers themselves.
*In order to maintain confidentiality, please remind students to sign the cards with their FIRST NAME ONLY.
All cards will be collected on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH, in order to get them shipped out in time for the holidays. Please have your student turn them in to his/her first period teacher. Teachers will take it from there!
What a great project to have students work on over the Thanksgiving Holidays, as we reflect on all we have to be thankful for!
*Please note, all cards will be screened by the Chaplain and staff. Please do not include any political statements or sentiments, as these cards will not be shared with the troops. They need encouraging words at these times.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Take Care,
