SHIM Shopping Trip was an Overwhelming Success! For the eighth consecutive year, Neil Armstrong students have supported the Angel Emporium project sponsored by the South Hills Interfaith Ministries. Students bring in money and then use their math skills to shop in teams to purchase Christmas presents for the needy in the South Hills--adults as well as children! This year the students brought in $8,000 and shopped at places such as Target, WalMart, Babies R Us, Burlington and Kohl's for moms, dads, infants, toddlers, children, teens and grandparents. The gifts filled the auditorium stage steps! Two special assemblies were held so everyone could see all that was purchased, including four bicycles! Representatives from SHIM were on-hand to thank the students and commend them because Neil Armstrong Middle School is the largest supporter of the Angel Emporium program. |

Mrs. Loebig
interviewed a representative from each of the sixth grade teams
to find out how participating in this project has impacted their
lives. Students responded with sentiments such as, "It
feels good to help others," and "I learned to be thankful for
what I have." |

 Jim Guffey and Mike Sedlock from SHIM thanked the students for being the largest supporter of the Angel Emporium.

Students helped to stretch out the register receipts for everything that was purchased. This has to be the world's longest register receipt! |
It just keeps going and going! |

 Here are the gifts that the students purchased with the $8,000 they raised for this year's SHIM Shopping Trip. In fact, there were so many gifts, they couldn't all fit into this picture! |
