Filling the Shoebox
- Grab a shoe box or a plastic container. Wrap the box and lid separately with Christmas paper
- Cut out the label and choose who you want to give your Christmas Shoebox to and what age.
- Fill the box. Get as creative and fun as you like with this!
- Close the box with an elastic band – please don’t seal with tape as Team Hope need to check contents to comply with regulations. Include €4 in your leaflet envelope either on top of the gifts or taped to the inside of the lid.
- Drop it off to Drom National School on or before Friday, 23rd October 2015.
