NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Students, parents and teachers at the Meridian School were greeted with the sound of bell ringing as they pulled up to school this month as 6th grade student Tyler Smith rang red kettlebells for a cause.

Smith tells me he’s been partnering with the Salvation Army for as long as he can remember.

The Salvation Army’s iconic red kettle campaign has become a Christmas tradition around the world.

It has been a fixture outside many favorite retailers, with the sound of the bell ringing warmly wishing patrons a “Merry Christmas.”

But a bell ringer outside a school is something you don’t see often.

Tyler was not only thankful his school partnered with him this year, but also for the help he got along the way

Ringing bells was not tyler’s only good deed. He also partnered with the school for a toy drive for the Crisis Centre.

And with days left before the holidays, there’s still time to give.
