Students Collect Gifts for Needy Children


The Metro Toy Bus visited St. Brigid School on Wednesday, December 12. Enthusiastic students from grades Pre-K through 8 filled the bus with toys to be given to needy children this holiday season.

For several years now, the Stuff a Bus toy campaign has sent a city bus to the school just before Christmas. Children bring unwrapped gifts and pile them on the bus seats. This year, students marveled at the number of toys that had been collected.

“Look at all of it!” exclaimed a pre-kindergartener as he placed his item on top of several others. Meanwhile, older children lined up outside the bus with armfuls of toys.

“Somebody’s going to have a very merry Christmas,” one of them said, hefting an Easy-Bake Oven up the bus steps.
