A student group from the Whitby School in Greenwich known as Whitby”™s Elves conducted The Elf Toy Drive to support Greenwich nonprofit organization Neighbor to Neighbor. Co-sponsor was the Whitby Parents Association. Fifty-five toys and games were collected, along with $371.60 from a student-led bake sale and silent auction.

“Sixth grade design brands the Cupcake Queens and Banana Splits from Space planned a bake sale that was a huge hit,” said Phil Lohmeyer, Whitby”™s design teacher and student activities coordinator for the Upper School.

Neighbor to Neighbor helps provide residents in need throughout the area with access to food, clothing, and basic living essentials.
