About the Project

The woodshop students at EL Dorado High School will craft 250+ wooden cars, to be painted by EDHS art students so every TK/Kindergarten student in four neighboring elementary districts will receive a toy. Additionally, the high school students will welcome leadership classes, board members, superintendents, teachers and families from the neighboring elementary school districts to join them in wrapping the entire woodshop in holiday gift wrap and twinkling lights as they wrap the individual toys and separate for the classes that will come in and claim the gifts. Woodshop and art students (dressed as elves) will be released for the day to welcome the TK/K students on campus to play games and receive their gifts. Band and chorus students will be released to provide live music. The media will attend and offer live feeds on the late morning shows (replays throughout the day) and everyone will be left with great holiday cheer.
