Prizes include $1,200 of furnishings for the Student Area from Jordan\u2019s Furniture, a $250 gift certificate to Paul\u2019s TV, a sundae and pizza party, cash rewards, gift certificates for school supplies, and a visit by a FOX 25 Meteorologist.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the prizes, the genuine goodwill generated by the students resonates throughout each school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery morning during Coats for Kids a student makes an announcement about the dates of the drive, the location of the collection boxes, how the coats are distributed to the needy, and the daily coat count,\u201d said Maryfran Doiron, a seventh-grade science teacher at R.J. Grey Junior High in Acton, which has been collecting coats for 15 years. \u201cThis builds enthusiasm throughout the building as the coat count number rises daily.
