EAST PASCO ADVENTIST ACADEMY STUDENTS PACK CHRISTMAS BOXES

by Lisa Ziegele
Students and staff from East Pasco Adventist Academy (EPAA), Dade City, Fla., packed more than 40 gift-filled shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. This is the first year the school has participated in the international outreach program of Samaritan’s Purse that provides children in war-torn and developing nations with gift boxes at Christmastime.
Boxes were packed with items often taken for granted by students in North America—basic toiletries like soap and toothpaste, school supplies, small toys, and candy. Students were able to track the destination country of their boxes and find information on the work Operation Christmas Child is doing in those countries.
“I hope the kids who received the gifts we packed will know they are special,” says EPAA seventh-grader Jada Theodore. “I’m glad that we could be a part of making other kids’ Christmases memorable.”

About Us


The Adventurer Club is a Seventh-day Adventist Church-sponsored ministry open to all families of children in grades 1-4. Our mission is to support parents and caregivers in leading and encouraging their children in a growing, joyful love relationship with Jesus Christ.
The first few years of a child’s life sets the stage for their future.  For parents/families of pre-K through fourth grade children, our Adventurer Clubs provide a safe place to encourage the development of the necessary social and interpersonal skills they need, in an environment that promotes Christian values and responsibilities.
Families will learn a variety of topics together, from character building, nature, hobbies, safety, and much more. This club also has parenting tips and resources through the family network and is designed to help you be the best parent/caregiver you can be as you partner with your child and other families to grow your kids to be the best they can be. Most clubs meet twice a month.
