Each year, Taft students, families, and staff join forces to collect new, unwrapped toys for the children at Telfair Elementary School in Pacoima. This partnership has become a cherished way for our community to make the holidays a little brighter for local families in need. The Toy Drive not only brings joy to the children at Telfair ES, but it also teaches our students the value of empathy, service, and community connection. Whether it is a small toy or a special gift, every contribution makes a meaningful difference.
For the toy donations, please provide new, unwrapped toys in their original packaging, suitable for elementary children of various ages. Weapons of any kind, nerf guns, water guns or anything else that may be inappropriate for elementary school students will not be accepted.
Students can drop off their new unwrapped toy donations in their period 4 class. Community members can drop off toy donations in the Main Office. Together, we can continue this Taft tradition of kindness and ensure that every child at Telfair Elementary experiences the joy of the season.
Let’s honor this season of Thanksgiving by giving back and spreading cheer, a true reflection of the Taft Toreador spirit.
