Rocky Run National Junior Honor Society members pose with some of the toys they collected for Our Neighbor’s Child.

Rocky Run Middle School’s National Junior Honor Society held a toy drive last week to benefit Our Neighbor’s Child, which provides Christmas gifts to more than 800 local families in need. Then on Saturday, Dec. 7, it hosted Raise the Ram Winterfest so community members could drop off toy donations while children made Christmas ornaments and cards, drew snowmen and candy canes, had their faces painted, took photos with Santa and played holiday-themed games.
