They made 306 blankets, 117 coloring books, 38 scarves, 24 hygiene kits and 12 baby blankets for The Road Home.

But one number eclipses all the others: $14,010 -- the amount of money Jordan High students raised for the organization, which helps Utahns overcome homelessness, in less than three weeks during their annual winter fundraiser.

"We did an amazing job just for being a bunch of high school kids," said Nate Manning, Jordan student body vice president. "We're way proud."

This year, the school's student body officers, DECA marketing club and Future Business Leaders of America club banded together to organize the fundraiser.

Students hosted a benefit concert with musicians Jon Schmidt and John Allred. They invited different food vendors, who agreed to donate part of the proceeds from their sales, into the school for long lunches. They auctioned off the chance to make gingerbread houses during eighth-period and auctioned donated items to the faculty. They allowed students to buy the chance to participate in dodgeball games and throw pies at teachers.

The teens even marched through the school parking lot asking students to donate the spare change in their cars, and classes competed to see who could raise the most money and collect the most canned food.

They also sold about 400 T-shirts celebrating the fundraiser's theme this year: change.

Ultimately, students took $5,000 of the money to Walmart to buy toys for the Candy Cane Corner, where families from The Road Home and the YWCA of Salt Lake City chose gifts for their children. They spent another $1,000 buying Walmart gift cards and bought a flat-screen TV for the shelter. They rest of the money went to The Road Home. Students also volunteered at the Candy Cane Corner.

Though the Beetdiggers didn't raise nearly as much money as last year, because of the economy, they said they were proud to help by also making items such as the blankets and coloring books.

"Everyone had a talent to donate," said Em Dziatlik, president of DECA and a Jordan senior. She said she hopes the fundraiser showed students that "you can do anything to help out. It doesn't have to be money."
