The Mittelstädt Patriots held an Operation Interdependence Packing Party on Fri., Jan. 13, 2012, in which students packed one civilian ration (c-rat) to be shipped to U.S. troops. They collected more than 3,000 toiletries, wrote more than 1,500 notes, and contributed $340 toward mailing the boxes overseas. Alongside the Klein High baseball team, the elementary students packed 640 bags.
