BSU hosts annual toy drive for Edgehill children

The Black Student Union's annual Toy Drive is collecting gifts through Wednesday, December 10. This drive is a chance for University School of Nashville to give to the Edgehill community during the holiday season. We ask that everyone bring new, packaged toys to the donation boxes at the 19th Avenue entrance and on each floor. View the BSU's wishlist here.

For the sixth year, our Black Student Union is organizing a Toy Drive to benefit Easley Community Center and Metro Parks and Recreation. Our students, faculty, and families have shown a wonderful giving spirit by providing donations for the past five years, and we are looking to share that same spirit this year.

The Toy Drive benefits the Easley Community Center, which is located in our Edgehill community and hosts the largest number of youth programs out of 27 community centers. The BSU is looking for toys for children ages 4-8, but will also accept toys for other ages.

Donations are being accepted through Wednesday, December 10. You can see the BSU's Amazon wishlist here.

  • Back-to-school Popsicle Party cancelled

    Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.
