Hepburn-Lycoming Primary School students presented more than $1,100 worth of toys to Toys for Tots on Dec. 1 in a special ceremony that also honored third-grade teacher and veteran Mr. Bruce Sacavage.

The presentation has become a tradition at the school, which has donated 1,473 toys valued at more than $11,000 to the Marine Corps program since 2006.

This year, the primary school’s families contributed 107 toys into the program.

Sacavage, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, spoke for and accepted the gifts on behalf of the military branch, in his dress blues uniform.
