"The 2022 annual Toy Drive for Children’s Hospital New Orleans brought together the Brother Martin community to show the true meaning of giving during the Christmas season.
Our Brother Martin NJROTC hosted a toy drive this past week. They collected over 300 toys benefiting those at Children’s Hospital. Families also purchased items from the Children’s Hospital New Orleans Amazon Wish List for direct delivery. Brother Martin students contributed during a school t-shirt and tennis shoe day for $5 - they collected over $1,900 in total. This assists with more expensive items for the hospital to use.
“This will definitely brighten up many kids this season” -Benjamin Code ‘23
The toys collected are distributed during their holiday party or used in the playrooms for each age group. Toys from this drive also are given out throughout the year. The generosity of the entire Brother Martin family this year made our drive successful. Together, we shared the true spirit of Christmas and showed that we are not just a school but a community. Thank you to all of our families and students!"
