During the third week of December 2015, students at Phifer Middle School completed Christmas Cards to send to soldiers in Afghanistan. Students picked up cards during lunch, completed them with a brief note or poem, and then returned them to the Phifer School Store at the end of the week. In all, there were about 200 cards mailed!

The kids wrote impressive messages that showed their support for the military, and compassion for the soldiers being away from their families. The cards were sent to Bagram Air Base, the largest military base in Afghanistan which houses soldiers from all military branches.

Phifer Middle School is hoping to send cards out again next December, doubling the number of cards completed.
