Nashoba Tech Collects Coats for Kids

Sophomore class receives first price in Jordan's program.

The Class of 2017 at Nashoba Valley Technical High School warmed up an especially cold winter.

The sophomore class held a coat drive over the winter as part of the Jordan’s Furniture Coats for Kids program, and collected enough garments to win first prize in the high-school category.

For their efforts, the class — led by president Lindsey Callan of Groton, vice president Dominic Neto of Shirley, secretary Charlotte Dufresne of Groton, treasurer Bryson Tang of Pepperell, and adviser Sheriley Farrand — received $1,000 for the school and 100 tickets to Jordan’s Furniture’s IMAX theaters.
