For the holidays, Trinity Christian Academy (TCA) fourth graders’ collected more than 1,300 boxes for Operation Christmas Child, a project to collect gift-filled shoe boxes to distribute to less fortunate children around the world. Operation Christmas Child has become a part of the school's culture. This is the 15th year TCA students have participated in the event, and after a season of preparing commercials and posters promoting the project, the students are excited for their shoe boxes to fulfill their purpose and reach children in need.
