The Girls on the Run of Guyton Elementary School community service project started Nov. 29 with a goal to collect 600 toys to donate to Toys for Tots.
With the help of the student body, faculty and staff, PTO and members of the community, the goal was exceeded. Girls on the Run collected 643 toys by Dec. 16.
Girls on the Run, which features 36 participants and 13 coaches, expressed gratitude for the support, especially to STEM teacher Babbie Royal and D'Wayne Walker and his generous donation from Matts and Global distribution.
