The School Board Meeting held on December 4, 2024, by the School City of Mishawaka highlighted a significant fundraising achievement by students at Bishop Milk High School. The meeting featured a presentation where students expressed their gratitude for the support received during their campaign for the American Cancer Society.
During the meeting, a representative from the student club shared their goal of raising funds and awareness for cancer patients. Initially, the club aimed to raise $600 by having six members collect spare change throughout November. However, they exceeded expectations by nearly doubling their target, showcasing the community's strong support and engagement.
The students presented a check to Jamie Miller from the American Cancer Society, emphasizing the importance of their partnership. Miller expressed gratitude on behalf of breast cancer patients and caregivers, acknowledging the efforts of the students, staff, and Mr. Ebright, who initiated the club.
This successful campaign not only raised funds but also aimed to establish a tradition for future initiatives, with plans to continue the effort next November. The meeting underscored the positive impact of student-led initiatives in fostering community spirit and support for important causes.
