Taylorsville Elementary Does Toys for Tots for School's Needy Children

By Sharon Roper

Students at Taylorsville Elementary give from their heart as they bring presents for their own Toys for Tots Program. All of the presents collected will end up with families that are in need within their school. 

“I think it is a good program to give back to the community. We all get pretty much what we like and it is good to give to others so they have a good Christmas,” said Chloe Carpenter, fifth-grade student. 

“We’ve been doing this program for decades. This year we are serving 45 students in our school,” commented Kaye Matthews, counselor. 

“I thought is was very thoughtful to be giving. I’m very happy to be able to give,” said Emma Savage, fifth grade student. 

“Students were excited to put their presents into the bags. Some people brought in bags of presents to donate,” said Addison Cothran, fifth-grade student. 

“Your not just giving a toy your giving a happy Christmas. It is my favorite season. Everyone is happier and you’re celebrating God,” said Cydney Molinaro, fifth-grade student. 

To end the event, parents and students filled the cafeteria to watch a Christmas performance.
