LSC member Rick Starbard, his wife who works at Sisson Elementary School and daughter Jessica donated and hosted an ice cream party for the class that donated the most toys to Toy's for Tot's.
The school collected over 450 toys that were loaded up on a firetruck and transported to the Marines where they will be distributed through their Toys for Tots campaign. Rick's wife did all the accounting for the contest displaying everyone's progress on a big chart. Rick's daughter Jessica, on her break from college, ran from room to room serving up the sundaes ordered from Treadwells.
The winning class brought in over 50 toys and one class only had 13 students but they brought over 30 toys so they were awarded sundaes as well. What was Rick doing all of these festivities? Aside from eating, you mean. He got to read the journals of these wonderful students who learned a valuable lesson about our responsibility to help those less fortunate than us.
Sadly no one from the Item, TV, or radio station was there to capture this outpouring of generosity. But you heard it here.
This is wonderful and those students needs to be given recognition for all the work and love that went into this act of kindness.
ReplyDeleteYou are right cause if they had done something bad, the press would have been all over it. Well I wrote about it and I sent a copy to the Item.
