September is childhood cancer awareness month, and far too many children are affected by this awful disease. When one of our own students was diagnosed, he was blessed by a foundation called Cal’s Angels, named after Cal, a boy from South Elgin who lost his battle to leukemia in 2006 at the young age of 13. Cal’s Angels is a pediatric cancer foundation with a mission of granting wishes, raising awareness, and funding research to help kids who are fighting cancer.
This week, we will be selling Cal’s Angels t-shirts leading up to our Go Gold Homecoming football game Friday night! Shirts will be sold at the high school during lunches.
Our goal is to sell out of shirts and have everyone wear them to the Homecoming game on Friday night! The theme is school spirit, so the gold color will be perfect! Remaining shirts will be sold Friday night, before and during the game. Let’s show them that we may be a small town, but we can raise big funds! 💪🏻🎗
It is with great pride to announce the following have won the
September Student of the Month Award: Senior – Kaden Degner, Junior – Addison Hamilton, Sophomore - Eden Stukenberg, and Freshman – Delaney Handy! Congratulations!
