• Hoopla and Coaches vs. Cancer

  A very big thank you to Linda Collis and Brad Stinson for co-chairing one of the very special parts of Hoopla: the organization of the food and volunteers in the cafeteria! More than 600 hot dogs were served as well as hundreds of bowls of chili and hundreds of cookies and apples - all free to everyone in attendance. The evening is sponsored by the Athletics and Admissions Committees and is an annual event.
  
  The Middle School cheerleaders were fabulous and added fantastic spirit to the evening as did the 6th grade boys basketball and 5/6 girls basketball teams. The talented High School JV and varsity boys and girls teams were terrific!
  
  Hoopla was enjoyed by those in attendance and we thank everyone who came out and supported the school and Coaches vs. Cancer. You raised $1,537; thank you.
