Toys, toys and more toys sat piled upon tables Wednesday morning at North Gwinnett High School’s Multipurpose room. Droves of children from Riverside, Level Creek, Roberts and Suwanee elementary schools packed the high school to sort gift donations they had been collecting for the past three weeks.

The event was North Gwinnett’s annual Toys For Tots collection. Some schools work independently; in Suwanee, the entire North Gwinnett cluster works together with one goal in mind: giving back to the community.
