Some East Students are showing their support for our troops. Students from Hubbard Middle School, Bullard High School and Brook Hill School are collecting items for care packages that we be sent to our troops the first week of December.These students realize that our troops are away from family and friends in order to protect our freedom, so they want to make sure they have something to open at Christmas!

Some items they are collecting are; white socks, books, magazines, crossword puzzles, handi-wipes, hard candy, gum, flavored drink mixes and sunflower seeds. Letters will also be include in the care packages.

If you would like to participate please bring your donations to any of these schools by November, 14.

What a great way to support to those that risk their lives for us everyday. These kids make me proud to be from East Texas. Good jobs guys!
