Walnut Hills Elementary Recess Relay fundraiser sets school record
GREENVILLE, Mich.— Students at Walnut Hills Elementary have set a record in their battle against cancer.
Principal Susan Ayers says the children raised $2,319.15 for the American Cancer Society this year, as part of their Recess Relay. Students collected the funds over a two week period, through a penny war and several other special events, including Hat Day (students paid a quarter to wear a hat) and Beach Day. Last year, Walnut Hills raised $1,556 for the American Cancer Society.
Students celebrated their success with Recess Relay Monday. Children enjoyed a variety of activities in between walking on the track.
The funds raised by Walnut Hills will go towards Montcalm County’s Relay For Life event, which will take place June 14 through June 15.
