Students at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School filled a school bus with more than 1,500 toys recently.
The toys were collected as part of the TD/Salvation Army Toy Drive, and will be wrapped by the Salvation Army and distributed to families in need for Christmas.
Students have been participating in this drive for five years and in that time frame, a total of more than 7,000 toys have been contributed.
Chaplain Rob Pappin and Principal Laura Kuzenko said they feel it is always heartwarming to see the students take on such an initiative and load up the school Christmas tree.
Money was also collected, which was turned over to the Salvation Army for families requiring food items over the course of the Christmas break.
