Merryhill Preschool and Elementary Students Donate Toys to Local Kids

Students held a toy drive to benefit Toys for Tots

Students at Merryhill Preschool and Merryhill Elementary School on Durango Drive in Las Vegas recently held a toy drive to benefit Toys for Tots. Throughout December, students and their families worked together to collect the gifts, including books, dolls, games, stuffed animals, and more. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of spreading kindness and helping others in their community.

Toys for Tots, a 70-year national charitable program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, provides happiness and hope to less fortunate children during each holiday season. The toys, books and other gifts collected and distributed by Marines and volunteers offer these children recognition, confidence and a positive memory for a lifetime.
