Brownie Troop 13363 of Clarkston Elementary assembled and shipped 22 care packages for troops overseas, at a Jan. 14 packing party.
The second-graders’ families donated items and money, and they researched how to fill out customs and shipping forms. Each box cost $11 to ship.
“We are very proud to have sent as many as we did,” said Angela Avery, Troop 13363. “Given the economy and the fact that it was after the holidays, we were not sure of the response, but our families came through with flying colors. In addition, we invited families of servicemen who attend our school to our packing party, which was very special.”
