Congratulationsto the juniors, who exceeded their class goal by the greatest percentage (163 %).In addition to walking, students are rewarded for the amount of money they raise. If a studentturned in $150.00 by September 10, she received VIP status, which offers free dress daysand open campus privileges throughout the year. If a student raised $75.00, she gets a “freeday,” where she may choose to take an extra day off of school. This year, because the schoolexceeded its $80,000 goal, the entire school also received a “free day” in February.32
