For the second year in a row, Mrs. Silver was in charge of a fundraiser that the teachers participated in on Wednesday, November 25th. Our proud West high teachers had a jeans day to raise money for the Toys for Tots organization! They successfully collected $520, and a big box of toys! Mrs. Silver, when received the money got many more toys with the $520 the teachers raised to add more to the schools (already) big box of toys! This was all proudly brought to the Toys for Tots organization on Wednesday, December 2nd!
The mission of the Toys for Tots Program is to collect new toys during the months of October, November, and December each year. They distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through receiving a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate childeren.Toys for Tots is here to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joys of Christmas, to play a role in the development of one of the nation’s most valuable resource, the children. Uniting all members of local communities in a common cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution, and to contribute to better communities in the future!
It is great that the west teachers got to participate in this great cause for the less fortunate and hopefully get to continue through the years with this great organization! Great job teachers!
