Relay for Life

Relay for LifeThe Sixth Grade class at Laurelville Elementary is moving forward with our plan for a Relay for Life. The purpose of a Relay is to raise money to help in the fight against cancer. The tentative date is set for June 3 @ 2:00. Hopefully the entire student body, parents, grandparents, and friends will join us as we walk through Laurelville and around the school grounds.

VanCuren's Graphics will be offering T-shirts for sale. Each shirt will be $10.00. For each shirt sold, they will donate $5.00 to the cause. These will be gray shirts with a Laurelville Elementary/Relay logo. The T-shirt sale will be May 5 - 9. Shirts will be delivered on June 2 so we can wear them at the Relay.

The Laurelville PTO is going to work with the sixth grade as we organize this event. They will be contacting area businesses and individuals to help with the Relay.

Lisa Deluse is helping to organize the parents and volunteers. If you are willing to help in any way, please email her at Ldeluse@aol.com.

I think relay for life would be great. My mom always goes to the walk for life, which I think is directed by Relay For Life. If not they both have the same purpose, to help cancer. It would be heartbreaking to find out a family member had cancer and you couldn't do anything about it. So, let's find out what we can do to cure it.


Now that I think about it I could have cancer some day, so let's find a cure.
