This afternoon our 7th grade led a Community Meeting that was filled to the brim with JOY! After the singing and dancing, our Student Council and Sgt. Buckley presented the nearly 600 toys that our Ellis Eagles and the greater Fremont Community donated to Toys for Tots! We want to highlight the leadership that our Student Council demonstrated throughout the Toys for Tots drive. Earlier this month, the Student Senators voted to spend $500 of their budget to purchase dozens of toys for kids in need and hosted a Winter Dance where attendees had the option of bringing a new, unwrapped toy in lieu of the cost of admission.
