“Super Nolan” Honored With Trucks for Tots Drive

Avonworth Education Support Professionals —union officers Becky Marszalek, Lisa Stevens, Courtney Carpenter, and Stephanie Barbour—recently organized a heartfelt Trucks for Tots drive in memory of a beloved truck-loving student, affectionately known as “Super Nolan.”

What began as a simple conversation quickly grew into a meaningful districtwide effort. Donation bins were set up at all three campuses, and the response was overwhelming. Staff, families, community members, and even out-of-state supporters contributed toy trucks to help honor Nolan’s joyful spirit.

On December 4, in celebration of Nolan’s life, the collected trucks were delivered to the Ohio Township Volunteer Fire Company for their Toys for Tots holiday drive. Each donated truck symbolizes a smile from Nolan and will brighten the season for a child in need.

This project reflects the compassion and unity of the Avonworth community—and the lasting impact one child’s love for trucks continues to inspire.
