During the November FFA meeting, the Oak Harbor/Penta FFA Chapter decided to conduct a “Toys for Tots” campaign at the Oak Harbor High School. The Agriculture Business classes were chosen to serve together as the conducting committee overseeing the campaign. Members agreed to make the toy drive a competitive activity to spark a greater interest while also influencing a team approach to help those in need. Winners from the top three classes could choose from a pizza party, donut/bagel party or cookie party as their reward.
The campaign ran from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11. Toys were donated in each first-period classroom then collected, counted and the results tallied during second period. Twenty-five first period classrooms, totaling 365 students, as well as staff participated in the two-week event donating an amazing 596 toys. All toys were donated to the Ottawa County Holiday Bureau to be distributed to those in need throughout the community. Participating students in the agriculture business classes were: Walter Adeler, Drew Bahnsen, Cody Hade, Chelsea Kitzler, Jackie Lacumsky, Bekah Lattea, Lanee Sandwisch, Brittany Biggert, Bret Braun, Dustin Brough, Brian Carter, Johnathan Kitzler, Tyler Kitzler, Kara McCloskey, Travis Meek, Rob Shelton and Kyle Wendt.
The FFA Advisors are Louie Damschroder and Noah Neiderhouse.
