Purple Haze
Time for Mini-Thon
By Amy Kimmel

Feburary 25, 2016

This Friday at 7 p.m. is the Man Pageant! Don’t forget to come out for some belly laughs and your chance to vote for Mr. Four Diamonds. Bring $5 for you ticket and meet in the High School Auditorium.

With Mini-Thon right around the corner there are even more fundraising opportunities happening at the high school and online. This Thursday during lunches students will have a chance to pie a teacher. Each pie will be $5. Last week during lunches, the Four Diamonds students hosted BINGO. Cards were $1 each and prizes included candy bars and gift cards.

This years’ Mini-Thon will be held on March 11-12, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. There will be many games and activities, including bounce houses and a dodge-ball tournament. Students will stay up all night to raise money for children fighting cancer. New this year will be a VIP room for students that raise at least $100 dollars. Incentives will be better food, comfy furniture, video games and more. If you’d like to make a donation toward Mini-Thon, stop in the office, or talk to a high school student who’s participating.

It’s that time of year when underclassmen have to complete their course selection for the following year. It was always a very indecisive process for me. While they are working on choosing their classes, seniors are working on choosing their colleges and majors. There is a stack of scholarships taller than me in the guidance office that seniors have been filing through. So as we make important decisions over at the high school, you are hopefully enjoying a carefree week!
