An enormous “Thank You” to the schools and teachers who so generously supported our efforts to collect goodies and letters to share with troops.

To date, Operation Spread the Joy has yielded more than 1,700 letters and over 6,000 items to send in goodie packages.

An enormous thank you to Butterfield, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz elementary schools, Maricopa Wells Middle School, MHS, and Pathway Sequoia for their generous support of the project. A big shout out to Ms. Toshia Jackson’s Performance Dance class – her students each brought in a complete care package.

Maricopa DECA is overwhelmed by your outpouring of CARE!
