The Leo E. Solomon Middle School Family conducted a dress down day for the 2021 Marine Toys for Tots Drive during the month of December. The teachers, administration and staff donated a new unwrapped toy to participate in a Friday dress down day. Three boxes were filled with toy donations. This is an annual event at the school and is a big success every year. Thank you to everyone for their generous donations and support and thank you to Mr. Anthony Kahlife, principal. Many children will wake up Christmas morning with a toy because of the big hearts of those that donated.  Pictured are Cpl Jairo Rodriquez, Avery Stebbins, Coron Clark, Brenda Banaszek, teacher, Mr. Khalife, principal, Prince Brantley, Nathan Libertoski and Lcpl Jordan Mace.
