Fifty-one schools in Sussex and northern Warren counties came together for a friendly competition of collecting toys.

Each school has spent the past few weeks collecting over 9,000 toys, both new and unwrapped, for a friendly Stuff the Stocking competition.

These toys are being collected to benefit Project Self-Sufficiency’s Season of Hope Toy Drive.

The winner of the competition wins the coveted Stuff the Stocking trophy, as well as a monetary donation to their school’s activity fund. The second and third place winners are also rewarded with a monetary donation for their schools.
