Which pronoun refers to a group …

Helping my sister with 3rd-grade homework, feel silly for checking.

She wrote:

The candy was brought by Mrs. Jeffrey's class. The candy was brought by them.

I corrected her with this:

The candy was brought by Mrs. Jeffrey's class. The candy was brought by it.

She wouldn't stop saying how it sounded weird. But I believe this is the right choice. Can anyone confirm?
