Treats for Troops Collected

Members​ of the student group, Isidore House, ​at​ ​Pope​ ​John XXIII Central Catholic in Elgin recently completed a service project that involved collecting treats and money to purchase candy for United States troops stationed in Afghanistan,​ ​Japan,​ ​Turkey,​ ​and​ ​Qatar.  The group was able to send a total of five boxes of candy.
 
Peggy Payne, House Advisor and English teacher at Pope John said. “With Halloween approaching, we thought the troops would appreciate the timing of these care packages filled with treats. We​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​thank​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the donors​ ​who​ ​participated​ ​in​ ​our​ ​“Treats​ ​for​ ​Troops”​ ​collection. ​We​ ​appreciate​ ​your​ ​support!”
