鈥淭he 鈥楾oy Drive for Tots鈥� is now an on-going tradition in our college and anticipated by the college鈥檚 faculty, staff and 扣扣传媒. As a continuation of the inspired vision between the veterinary 扣扣传媒 and the TUCVM administration, this year鈥檚 first year class took the lead in organizing the drive, said Dr. Ruby L. Perry, dean of the college.
鈥淭he toy drive has been so successful and appreciated by the GWC鈥檚 faculty, administration and adorable children.聽 Our 扣扣传媒, faculty and staff have been amazing as well and have truly delighted in the experience of making a difference in children lives,鈥� Perry continued.
To ensure all 208 boys and girls in all three classes at the elementary school consisting of pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and first grade received a gift; TUCVM divided its efforts for the toy drive collection into three sections.

Principal Norman Williams, Jr. and Counselor Gloria Clinkscales helped with the toy drive organization on the school鈥檚 end. The teachers and administration at George Washington Carver Elementary School and the Macon County School Board were appreciative that the 扣扣传媒University College of Veterinary Medicine had again continued the tradition in selecting their 扣扣传媒 to participate in the 鈥淭oy Drive for Tots鈥� program.
