Teachers and classmates of slain eight-year old Kerra Wilson can now find comfort in the arms of a teddy bear. Nearly 500 stuffed animals were delivered to Mitchell Elementary School today for students and teachers. The toys packed the school’s gym. Students were able to come and pick out their own stuffed animal after school today.

The Nebraska chapter of the group Hugs Across America collected the bears to help students cope with the loss of classmate Kerra Wilson. The third grader’s body was found September 22nd in rural Sioux County after she was reported missing the previous day.

Kerra Wilson’s family also received donated teddy bears.

Any extra toys will remain at Mitchell Elementary.
