Students in Ms. McCoy's class at Williams Elementary School recently completed a 100 book drive for One Stop Community Christmas. 🎁📚
Ms. McCoy stated, "I am so proud of my students. This all began with a student noticing the book box at the front of their building was empty. From there, the class discussed the importance of programs like One Stop and how much brighter it can make someone's holiday season. The students then took it upon themselves to share this information with their families and a challenge was born! I love their kind hearts and how they strive to make the world a better place." 💚💛
Great work to everyone involved in this project! 👏

We appreciate him taking the time to teach the students a little more about his career! 🙌
