For the 6th year, we are again collecting toys for families in the Mendell School Community honoring the memory of Sean Jackson, who passed away in 2011. For those who do not know Sean, he was an important and much-loved member of the Mendell and Hurley School Communities. He worked for the YMCA of Greater Boston in the after school program and in summer camp and touched the lives of urban youth

Excitedly heading into our last week of toy collecting!! Due to the impending storm on Tuesday, it is anticipated that shipment deliveries will be delayed. Please, if you would still like to contribute, it is recommended that you purchase a Target gift card online and send it to [email protected]. You can also purchase toys online at Target and I will pick them up at the Westwood location. Just be sure you list Lesley Silvia as the pick up person and send the confirmation email to [email protected]. Again, thank you so much for your generosity!
Here we go again! On to year 9 of the Sean Jackson Memorial Toy Drive!

Friends and family of this wonderful community came through beautifully!! Toys were delivered to 87 families AND their siblings at the Mendell on Friday, and tomorrow, I will be visiting 3 homes and the YMCA (where many of our students will be for vacation care) to deliver the remaining gifts. Thank all so much, from the bottom of my heart. Your shares, donations and love have all truly made a difference this year to so many! 💕 Happy Holidays to everyone!

Getting close, but not quite there yet... 2 more days to donate! Any toys are fine! They do not need to be on the list. I plan on making 2 more trips to Target in Westwood, so order your gifts and list me (Lesley Silvia) as the pick up person, and let’s complete this mission!! 💪🏽

So many toys!!!! And these were just the ones I could fit in my car! There is still a TON at school and I know we have more on the way! I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who donated and supported the Toy Drive this year. There is sure to be many smiling little faces this weekend 😊
Now let the wrapping begin....
It's not too late to donate! If you don't think the gifts will be mailed to the school before Thursday, please message me and we can arrange for them to be delivered to my house. I will be delivering gifts directly to families even after Thursday. So every toy will find a happy home!
