Student Government pushed back the ornament pickup deadline for Toys 4 Tots this year due to a decrease in student participation. Despite Student Government’s promotion, the annual toy drive received roughly half of the participation as last year, according to Toys 4 Tots committee head Kenzie Johnson.

“Sadly, if people don’t come pick up the ornaments, we’re going to have to get a lot of extra gifts,” Johnson said. “It’ll just be harder on the group [of kids].”

The deadline moved back to today in an attempt to accumulate more contributions to the program.

“I think that students should come on up because it’s gonna be great,” Johnson said. “It makes a lot of students’ Christmases.”
