๐ฌ๐ **THE FINAL CALL: TEAM COLTON CANDY DRIVE IS OFFICIALLY OVER!** ๐๐ฌ
WOW, JACKSON CITY! ๐๐ You showed up, showed out, and blew us away! Our final count is in, and the REAL WINNER is **TEAM COLTON, with an incredible 26,229 PIECES OF CANDY DONATED!** ๐๐ญ
Our original goal was 15,000 pieces, and our Tigers absolutely SMASHED it! We are so proud of every student, family, staff member, and community supporter who helped make this possible.
๐ **OUR TOP 3 INDIVIDUAL DONORS:**
๐ฌ Quinn
๐ฌ Jerricho
๐ฌ Jimma
These three earned their rewards and a chance to skip the line at Team Colton's Trunk or Treat! ๐
๐ **AND THE CLASSROOM WINNER ISโฆ MRS. KING'S CLASS!** ๐
Talk about coming down to the VERY LAST SECOND! Mrs. King's class took the lead right at the finish line, making this one a race we won't soon forget! Congratulations to Mrs. King and her Tigers! ๐ฏ
But here's the thingโฆ **WE HAD TWO AMAZING CLASSES, AND OUR KIDS DESERVE TO BE CELEBRATED!** โค๏ธ
Because our students went above and beyond our expectations, we're excited to announce that **TWO classes will be rewarded!** ๐
๐ Mrs. King's class & Mrs. Pugh's class who combined donated an amazing 17,056 SURPASSING our original school wide goal.
Because at the end of the day, this was about so much more than winning a pizza party. It was about our kids showing up, working together, giving generously, and putting their hearts into something bigger than themselves. And THAT deserves to be celebrated! โค๏ธ
๐ **THE BIGGER MISSION BEHIND THE CANDY** ๐
Team Colton is about so much more than candy and Trunk or Treat. Their mission is to help families across the United States who are battling DIPG (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma), a devastating and aggressive childhood brain cancer. Through their efforts, they bring support, compassion, and hope to families facing unimaginable challenges.
Every piece of candy collected helps support that mission and reminds these families that they are not alone. โค๏ธ
To everyone who donated candy, encouraged our students, helped spread the word, and supported this drive โ THANK YOU! You helped us collect **26,229 PIECES OF CANDY**, but more importantly, you helped teach our children the power of kindness, generosity, teamwork, and giving back.
Jackson City, you once again proved that when our community comes together, amazing things happen! ๐ฏ๐๐
**26,229 PIECES OF CANDY. TWO CLASS PARTIES. ONE INCREDIBLE MISSION.**
We are proud of our Tigers, grateful for Team Colton, and thankful for a community with such big hearts! ๐ฌโค๏ธ
