• Special Toys for Tots Announcement: It’s December, and Christmas is fast approaching.  With Christmas comes presents under the Christmas tree.  Unfortunately, some needy children will not receive gifts and probably more so this year because of the situation with COVID.  This is where you can help.  The Marine Corps Reserve and Jesuit MCJROTC are sponsoring the annual Toys for Tots Drive, which runs through Dec. 11.  During the drive, we will collect new, unwrapped toys for local needy children.  Boxes have been placed in each homeroom to collect the toys and a flyer has been placed in all teachers’ mailboxes.  The homeroom in each grade level that collects the most toys will receive a donut party at the beginning of next semester.  A minimum of 1 toy per student is required to qualify.  The drive only lasts until Dec. 11, so start bringing those toys in and make some child’s Christmas a very merry one.
