The "stuff-a-bus" Christmas campaign is making its return as Steubenville City Schools gears up for another season of giving, starting this Friday. This beloved initiative, which has been a staple in the community for nearly a decade, aims to support local children by providing holiday gifts and essentials. Initiated in 2017 by Amy Colantoni, the public relations and fundraising specialist at SCS, the campaign has grown significantly each year, thanks to the generosity of local residents and businesses. By collecting donations of toys, clothing, and other gifts, the program seeks to ensure that every child experiences the joy of the holiday season. This year, the campaign is especially crucial as many families continue to navigate economic challenges.

The event not only emphasizes the spirit of giving but also fosters unity within the Steubenville community. As excitement builds for the launch of the campaign, organizers are hopeful for a successful collection that will brighten the holidays for many. Community members are encouraged to participate and contribute to this heartwarming cause, making a meaningful impact on the lives of local children.
