![]() By Darius Sims Tomorrow’s Legacy , a group created by Mr. Lyles, teamed up with the senior council to raise money for Toys for Tots on December 19th, 2014. Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. The two groups hosted an out of uniform day at school for $1. Together, the groups raised $873. They took the proceeds and went to Toys R Us to buy toys to donate to the organization. They split up into three different groups and divided the money into 3 carts. Everybody started choosing toys that caught their eyes until they reached their limit. Once they had purchased the toys, they placed them in the donation pick-up area that Toys R Us provided. Christmas is a time where everyone deserves happiness. “Getting to be a part of Toys for Tots showed me that putting effort to make others happy is sometimes more important than putting yourself first”, said Rosario Chavez.

I loved reading this. It was well written and it was very interesting. It's something that others should do because you are not doing it for yourself, but for other little kids that don't get all those things like the toys.
