Before leaving school for the holidays, Jurupa Hills High School teacher Kelsy Gray's homeroom class ensured that an EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Unit stationed in Afghanistan would receive care packages for Christmas.

"We shipped 65 care packages will all kinds of goodies for the soldiers," said Ms. Gray.  Each care package contained a DVD, book, shampoo, conditioner, soap, batteries, snacks, playing cards, magazines, pens, pencils, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and miscellanous donated items.  Said Ms. Gray, "These care packages were filled to the brim with tons of great supplies.  We also included letters and art work from high school and elementary students throughout the district."
