For the 23rd consecutive year, the Walton Central School District teamed with Delaware Opportunities for a gift drive to help area children.
This year, the drive covered 40 children throughout Delaware County. The National Honor Society teamed up with faculty and staff from the high school, middle school, elementary school, as well as the middle school PTSA for the drive.
A list of families is given to the school ahead of time, though identities are not known. Gifts remain in the county, however. The only information given to the school is age, gender, and sizes for each child, as well as a list of wanted items or interests. The ages of children this year ranged from two months to 15 years. Some students and staff shopped for multiple children.
“I’m really proud of this service project,” NHS advisor Danielle Cole said. “It speaks to the generosity of our students and community who give back without question, and it never fails to leave me speechless.”
