Thank you to everyone who supported, donated, and uplifted our COMTO Jacksonville 2025 Holiday Initiative! 💛✨

Because of your generosity, we were honored to support Ms. Small, a kindergarten teacher of S.P. Livingston Elementary School—an outstanding educator and Teacher of the Year—by delivering a heap of much-needed classroom essentials.

Thanks to our supporters, her classroom received crayons, books, recess items, glue sticks, STEM kits, a brand-new kindergarten classroom rug, and so much more. The students were also surprised with their favorite requested toys—each one received with the biggest smiles imaginable! 😊🎁 To top it all off, the class celebrated with a fun-filled Friday pizza party, making the day even more special.

Moments like these strengthen our love for COMTO even more to continue inspiring our community and beyond. Together, we are truly making a difference for our future generations. Thank you so much to my wonderful members for adding some sunshine to their day!!! You all are truly amazing gems!! 🌟📚🍕🎁🎉
