Toy Drive
Each year students in Mr. Jones' Basic and Advanced Woodworking classes make toys which are distributed to needy kids in the Morrisville Community by the Ivin's Outreach Center. This is a unique opportunity for students to contribute to the community. Morrisville students make toys out of wood grown in Morrisville for other needy children in Morrisville.
