Coesse Elementary School ready to hit a home run with Relay for Life fundraisers
Coesse Elementary will be kicking off their annual Relay for Life events starting the week of Monday, May 11. This year's theme is "Pitching in to Find a Cure for Cancer." The baseball-themed atmosphere will be a big hit as the students sell baseballs in memory or in honor of someone they know for $2.25 each. Proceeds will support the Whitley County Relay for Life.
On Saturday, May 16, Coesse Elementary School will showcase the teachers’ abilities out on the field as the fifth grade students take on the staff in a baseball game at Morsches Park. Anyone wanting to view this one-of-a-kind event should stop by the park around 2:00 p.m.
Then, on Wednesday, May 27, staff and students will celebrate closure to the theme as the students participate in an all-day event with stations, relays, games, dunk tanks (yes…you may even see Coesse’s gracious principal, Mrs. Weimer, sitting atop the booth) and much more. Hopefully the day will shine and bring lots of joy to a very worthwhile cause.
Coesse Elementary School staff and students support the American Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life year after year with field games and a variety of fundraisers, teaching student the value of philanthropy and how much their efforts mean to those facing and fighting cancer. Last year, according to Relay for Life chairman Jade Pfeiffer, the Coesse School fundraisers raised more than $1900.
