ALBION – Fourth-graders in Mr. Epperson’s class at the Ronald L. Sodoma Elementary School collected 208 winter clothing items – hats, mittens and scarves – to be shared with students who need them.

Kelsey Froman, a student in the class, took the lead in the effort for the second year in a row. In the first year, students collected 256 items.
When asked how she came up with the idea, she said: “Last year while I was riding the school bus to school, I noticed that some kids didn’t have warm clothing and it was very cold outside, so I decided to ask if I could collect some at school to give to them.”
