Every year, during the holiday season, the North Allegheny Intermediate High School holds its annual ‘Santa’s Stocking.’ This program donates gifts to underprivileged children that ordinarily wouldn’t receive gifts for Christmas. Through this program, we are able to give these children the joy of opening their very own gifts Christmas day. We assign each homeroom one or two children, and students bring in toys and stocking stuffers and then spend a class wrapping them for the kids. Each year, the parents that come pick the toys up for the children are awestruck, and so thankful.
This year, the NAI key club adopted our own two children, a young girl and boy. We reached out to the entire key club asking for monetary donations, and then went shopping at ToysRUs for the kids. We bought the girl a brand new bike, helmet, Bratz dolls, and coat. We bought the boy plenty of new action figures, and a new winter coat, hat, and mittens.
All in all, the Santa Stocking project at NAI was a huge success, and our key club was happy to bring Christmas to two children.
