ROWAN COUNTY -- Teachers, faculty and administrators of Rowan-Salisbury schools hit the buses Thursday morning, to hand deliver Christmas toys to kids in the community.

By 8:30 Thursday morning, the crowds were already waiting. hTe crowds were so large, they ran out!

But Christmas elves around Rowan County worked hard to get things back on track, making sure every child got a present.

"We had a couple of churches call in and some individual employees just taking out their wallets this morning stopping at the dollar general to be sure that nobody went without a toy this year,” said Dr. Lynn Moody.

This was the first year Rowan-Salisbury Schools held the toy drive.
