Students are Wauka Mountain Elementary Schools are continuing a project to support our troops abroad. They began sponsoring the 65th MPCO out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina last January. The company is made up of approximately 175 active duty men and women, who are on an expected 18 month tour of duty in Iraq (their second tour of duty). They are several hours removed from Baghdad, so the Wauka Mountain family has been sending care boxes of supplies, which the troops have requested. To date, students have sent thirteen (13) boxes and have collected over $200 to assist with postage. Each month during the year, students have been asked to bring in certain items. In addition, each class has a goal of raising $11 per class for postage. To add a personal touch, the students are making thank you notes to add to place in the boxes for Thanksgiving.
