West Orange Student Woodworkers Design Toys For Kids

From West Orange High School: West Orange Mayor Robert Parisi revisited one of his favorite places at West Orange High School - The Wood Shop, to collect 25 handmade wooden toys for township children.

Parisi shook hands with several of the students, who said they were happy to participate in the three-week project. Cars, helicopters, trains, and more with working parts were prepared to give out to local children through the Mayor's Sunshine Fund.

"I loved woodworking when I was at West Orange High School," noted Parisi. "I still love to work around my house."

"It was great making the toys knowing they were for an important cause," said student Roberto Rivera.
