Chesterbrook Academy Donates Gifts to Local Children in Need

Students held a gift drive to fulfill the holiday wishes of students in need at local elementary schools

Students at Chesterbrook Academy Preschool in Germantown recently held a gift drive to fulfill the holiday wishes of 31 local students and their siblings. The donations were the result of an “angel tree” program, during which students worked together to collect a variety of wish list items, including clothes, shoes, toys and games.

In addition to their gift drive, students also held a food drive for Manna Food Center, which strives to eliminate hunger through food distribution, education and advocacy in Montgomery County. Through these initiatives, students learned the importance of giving back to those in need, especially during the holiday season.
