The items are for the school's Toys for Tots program to assist local children and families in need.

Community service is a cornerstone of pride at District 88, and Addison Trail students and staff members recently demonstrated that commitment to giving back and helping others through participating in the school’s Toys for Tots service project, which collects gifts during the holiday season to distribute to children and families in need.

This year, Addison Trail sponsored 30 families and 80 children from Addison Township, and items were delivered on Dec. 10 to Addison Village Hall.
