As part of our community service, the AVID Elective is sponsoring a toy drive at our school from now until Dec. 17.  Everyone is encouraged to participate and bring in an unwrapped/new toy (Dollar Tree item is just fine) for those in need this season.  Donations are to be brought to advisory classes. The advisory with the most toys will receive a festive breakfast Dec. 18.  🙂 Thanks for helping others this holiday season!
