Horseshoe Bend School elementary students are learning the importance of giving back at a young age. 

The HBS elementary Beta Club took part in Operation Christmas Child, a program offered through Samaritan’s Purse. Those who participate fill red and green decorated shoeboxes with toys and hygiene items to give to kids ages 2 to 14 in need. The club exceeded its goal of 25 by packing 75 boxes.
