Beacon Middle School students spread holiday cheer in December through a successful Toys for Tots campaign under the guidance of seventh-grade math teacher Charles Mumford.

Through dedication and teamwork, students collected more than 425 toys to support families in the local community.

Lyric Hudson, an eighth-grade student at Beacon, said, “It is important to give back to the community. Even a small effort, like helping bring joy through opening presents, can make a big difference.”

Eighth-grader Anna Pedicone said, “We wanted to share the joy of the holidays and help make this time of year special for others in our community.”

Along with Mumford, Elizabeth Hahn, a seventh-grade science teacher, and a group of students delivered the donations to the local Toys for Tots drop-off location just in time for the holidays, helping to ensure many children would experience the excitement and happiness that come with the season.
