This Friday, a significant community event will coincide with a local football game, aimed at raising awareness and funds to combat pediatric cancer. The initiative, led by Mark Meyer and supported by various community organizations, is part of a broader effort known as Ani's Army. Attendees can expect to see a sea of white t-shirts adorned with pink, symbolizing the fight against this devastating illness.

In addition to the football event, both middle schools in the area recently held their first Parent Advisory Council (PAC) meetings. Attendance has shown promising growth, with both schools reporting an increase in participation. Previously, meetings were held at night with attendance often ranging from five to seven parents. However, the latest gatherings saw 15 parents in attendance, indicating a positive trend. School officials are encouraging parents to invite others to join these important discussions, aiming to further enhance community involvement in school affairs.
