Special Thanks to Livingston ISD
Submitted by Bea Ellis, LISD Board of Trustees President
To the Teachers, Staff and Students of LISD who are participating in our F.A.I.T.H. Care Package Project.....Thank you so much for all your support, your generous donations, and your letters, pictures and cards. F.A.I.T.H. volunteers met, packed and mailed 220 packages this month to 103 Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors serving our country around the world! We frequently receive thank you notes, and I would like to share the following with you:

"We wanted to thank you for your packages and support. One of our Marines, Cpl Roland Miles, recently received some packages from you and I wanted to take the time to say thank you. I really enjoyed the letters in the boxes from the kids, as I have two kids of my own. Once again we really appreciate the support and the prayers."
