On average it is about $215 per student for the whole school year. Each sack consists of 2 meals and 4 snacks for each day of the weekend.

Lots of raffle prizes at this meeting as well as our "Favorite thing" gift exchange with the Rudolph left and right game! Everyone walked away with a unique gift, and it was so fun!!

Our fellow MOPS member, Sara, also shared with us that her 15 month old nephew, Emmett, has recently been diagnosed with leukemia. Her sister and brother-in-law will have to live with Emmett at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston for 4 months while he undergoes chemo therapy treatments. Even during the holidays. None of their parking fees or food expenses will be covered during this duration. Sara has designed super hero type t-shirts to help raise money for her family. Shirts are on a pre-order basis, and she must have 12 shirts in order to make 1 order. They are $20.00 each, and she can send you a Pay Pal invoice. Sara will also have Emmett bracelets for sale during January's meeting for $1.00 each! Please bring $1.00 if you'd like to have one and help out Sara's family in their time of need.

To put in an order for a t-shirt, you can email Sara Rocha at saralynnj@yahoo.com
