The evening featured three basketball games, along with children’s crafts and activities, door prizes, and a basket raffle. In the very first Junior High boys vs. girl’s game, it was the girls who came out victorious! In the female student vs. faculty game, it was the students who took the win, and in the final game, it was the male faculty members who secured the win for the 3rd year in a row! Excellent job to all players’ young and old(er)! A huge THANK YOU to all those who helped make this event successful by donating their time, resources, skills, food, and beverages. Together we raised $2576.25 in support of finding a cure for cancer! None of this would have been possible without the help and dedication of a supportive and caring administration, faculty, student body, and community.
