Koda seventh grade students donated piles of new toys worth more than $1,600 for the Toys for Tots campaign. Paper snowmen on Team 1 and paper mittens on Team 2 were sold for $.50 each and were hung in the hallway with the donors’ names on them. On December 8 team teachers took a group of students to Walmart after school to shop for the toys. On December 11 representatives from the U.S. Marine Corps came to Koda to pick up the toys and thank the students for their efforts. Students from both teams lined the seventh grade hallway and passed the bags of toys off to the Marines who were very grateful for their help. The seventh grade teachers are very proud of the wonderful job done by their students this year and thankful to the parents who supported this worthy cause as well.
