********* Special Message *******

As many of you may remember, it is the time of the year that I generally beg for TOY DONATIONS for the BATAVIA ACCESS TOY DRIVE.  The Toy Drive is led by our own Hall Of Honor Inductee, Roy Bailey, his wife Jeannie and their daughter, Brittany Cole, Coach Alvin Cole’s wife.  My wife and I joined them many years ago seeking to help Batavia Families with their Christmas Celebration.

The Bailey family has explained to us that the Toy Drive helps ease financial stress for over 200 Batavia Families, by providing for over 600+ children.  Roy’s Mother started the program seven decades ago, and is truly one of the great gifts of our community.

Instead of worrying about putting items under the tree, families who are invited to the Drive can focus on getting family necessities.  These struggling families are recommended to The Batavia Access Toy Drive through their churches, by the city, neighbors and even our schools. They are all BULLDOGS.    While the parents can focus on needs, the children get the joy (and sometimes needed distraction) of a toy or two.  Batavia’s own Craig Sager, sports reporter for CNN, TNT and TBS, talked about the joy of toys when the stresses build up– he experienced the distraction of a Toy Train in a Houston Hospital while undergoing cancer treatment.  Here is that famous train:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjdBsbLr0Y4

It is the wonderful giving spirit of our School that has provided so much in the past.  We are asking for donations of new toys for children of Batavia. 

We will start collecting Monday, November 17. We  need all TOY donations by Wednesday, December 10th. Toys can be brought to classroom C112, or dropped off at the Main St. check-in desk.  Let’s try to reach the goal of 600 Toys as we have done in the past.  

Thank you all for your generosity–    Coach Holm
