WARFIELD — The Beta Club at Martin County Middle School has once again demonstrated the spirit of giving this holiday season by participating in Operation Christmas Child. This global initiative organized by Samaritan’s Purse provides shoeboxes filled with gifts to children around the world who might otherwise miss out on the joy of Christmas.

Beta Club members worked tirelessly to make this project a success. Throughout the past weeks, students brought in a variety of items to fill the shoeboxes, including toys, school supplies, hygiene products and other essentials. These thoughtful contributions are sure to bring smiles to children in need.

To ensure the shoeboxes were ready for their journey, Beta members stayed after school to pack them with care and attention. The completed shoeboxes were then delivered to Operation Christmas Child Coordinator Jimmy Horn at the drop-off location at Inez First Baptist Church.

“We’re proud of our students for stepping up and making a difference,” Beta Club sponsors Kristie Fields and Denise Butcher said. “This project teaches them the value of generosity and the impact they can have on the lives of others.”

The Martin County Middle School Beta Club’s participation in Operation Christmas Child reflects their commitment to service and their desire to bring hope and joy to others during this special time of year, the sponsors noted. “The students’ efforts not only brighten the holidays for children around the globe but also serve as a reminder of the importance of kindness and giving in our community.”
