This holiday season, Nixon families have the opportunity to share the gift of giving! 💙
Our Nixon Ambassadors are leading two meaningful projects — collecting toys for children through Toys for Tots and gathering cozy gifts for local nursing home residents.
Together, we can spread kindness, joy, and warmth to those who need it most this holiday season. 🎄💫
Donations can be dropped off in the front office during school hours.
Let’s make this season brighter for others — the greatest gift is giving! 💚❤️🐾


We are so thankful for our amazing El Paso ISD community! 🌟 May your Thanksgiving be filled with joy and gratitude. ❤️
