Do you know about Toys for Tots? It’s a great charity that provides happiness and joy to kids on Christmas morning. They cannot do this without our help.
We have been giving to Toys for Tots for a long time. Our parents took us shopping and we would purchase toys to put in the Toys for Tots box. My sister and I did not completely understand the idea of buying toys, putting them in a box, and not keeping them. We learned that you don’t always get what you want and some kids may wake up Christmas morning with nothing or very little under their tree.
Each year we continued this tradition of purchasing toys for the Toys for Tots box. It’s always fun shopping for things that we know we would like. This makes us feel good knowing that kids that may not be getting presents would be getting something.
This got us thinking that as a school we can help Toys for Tots do more. We will have a Toys for Tots box in the school entrance. We will be collecting new, unwrapped toys for kids until December 11th. Toys for Tots will distribute these toys to kids in need throughout our community. We did this last year and our school collected well over 100 toys! Let’s try to beat that number this year!
You can give a little or you can give a lot, it’s Toys for Tots.
