The students were doing the recess relay as a fundraiser for the Logan County Relay for Life, which was held at the Lincoln Center, Jack Nutt Arena on Saturday June 16 th . A portion of the day’s program included the presentation of a check to Relay for Life in the amount of $870.16. The check was presented to Carolyn Motely for the RFL by WLB student Drew Eimer. In another portion of the program, Eimer was joined by student Jake Biven and School principal Heather Baker in a presentation before an assembly of the students. The three talked about cancer and the impact it has on the cancer victim as well as friends and family. It is sad to note, that children have a keen knowledge of this devastating disease, not because they should be ignorant, but because they should not have to have dealt with cancer at such a young age. However, many of them have. They have had family members and even beloved school teachers who have battled the disease. The kids have an understanding of how important it is for the American Cancer Society to be able to assist in research that will result in more survivors, and also in offering support to those who are fighting the good fight.
