Stuffing Stockings for Toys for Tots


SOMERSWORTH—
More than 50 students from Somersworth Youth Connection, teachers from the Somersworth Middle School, and Somersworth community members came together to stuff more than 100 stockings in less than 20 minutes at SYC’s 3rd Annual Stuff a Stocking Party for Toys for Tots. Students from grades 5 through 8 participated, stuffing stockings for both boys and girls. Five tables were lined up with assorted toiletries, treats and trinkets as students excitedly stuffed all of the items into stockings.
SYC greatly appreciates the SMS staff and families with their generosity and donations towards the event. SYC students participate in a variety of service projects throughout the year such as Thanksgiving baskets for the local food pantry, the Annual Spirit Up Somersworth Community Clean Up Day, the citywide Adopt-a-Spot program, and the planting of liberty elm trees in the community.
