Spry Students Raise Funds for Miracle Field

Spry Middle School students had a great time raising funds for the local charity Challenger Miracle Field of Rochester.

The Spry Student Council ran the fundraiser in conjunction with the school’s spirit week. They hosted jar wars and restaurant night at Panera and Bill Grays and garnered further funds through cash donations, concession sales, and ticket sales for a very special kickball game. Played at Challenger Miracle Field in Webster on May 13, the game blended Spry students with Challenger players on each of Spry’s house teams. The White House team won the Spirit Stick after all of the week's events -- dress up days, trivia participation, candy jar guesses, and spirit assembly minute to win it games.
 
When it came to choosing a charity to receive the funds raised, the Spry Student Council members brought to the table charities of interest and then voted. Challenger Miracle Field received the most votes, so on June 4 Student Council representatives Jack F. and Jayna Z. along with advisor Ms. Zenkel were at Miracle Field to present a check in the amount of $2,107.76 to Challenger Miracle Field of Rochester.
