Marauder Toy-Nation
December 1, 2023
Marauder Toy-Nation is a community event organized by students from the Mitchell High School Student Council program and was established during the 2021 school year. From November 6th until December 14th, new toy donations were collected from students, staff, and family members at Mitchell High School. We are hoping to reach our target goal of 1400 donated toys over the donation period. Last year’s toy drive donated 1,350 toys to each student at Monroe, Penrose, and Wilson Elementary Schools and were excited to bring this initiative back to them this year! There will be a competition at Mitchell High School between all classes in order to see which class can donate the most toys with the top three classes receiving a prize. With the help of the community donations and Mr. and Mrs. Claus, the MHS Student Council will deliver the donated toys to three D11 elementary schools on December 14th: Penrose, Monroe, and Wilson Elementary. Below are the times we’ll be located at each of the schools:
This year community members, such as Raising Canes, helped make the Marauder Toy-Nation even more successful than in the past. Raising Canes are supporting us with a Kickback Fundraiser on December 5th. Interested members from the student body and community can mention the Marauder Toy-Nation drive and Raising Canes will give a portion of the proceeds back to Mitchell High School for the toy drive.
There will be a basketball game hosted by Mitchell High School on December 5th with a ticket entry price of one donated toy to enter. Community members are invited to attend. Proceeds will go to the Marauder Toy-Nation toy drive. The game will feature Mitchell staff and the soldiers from Fort Carson Army base and airmen and guardians from Peterson SFB in a friendly and competitive match focused on benefiting the community. During halftime, Santa Claus will participate in games with help from those in the fans for our first inaugural Santa Games. He will also be available for pictures and well wishes.
We hope to bring smiles to the younger students' faces in our community and inspire Marauders to do the same in the future.
