Five high school students from Falls Church with their teachers eat pizza waiting for the wrapping to begin. Each of them will receive a wish list for a child and will choose from the piles of presents available at the tables. One of the students says they have come in order to get community service points. But Andre Aguirre says he reflects back on his childhood when he was younger and he wouldn't get presents: "I decided if I ever had the chance I would help other kids like me to get presents."
