“FUN”D Day Helps Students

By Allure Sapp, Repoter

“FUN”D Day is a fundraiser created by senior student representative Matthew Barnhart to raise money for a $500 scholarship that will go to a graduating senior to further his or her education.

Barnhart is a member in student council, and he thought that it would be a great way to help fund a scholarship and improve school spirit district-wide in the process.

 “FUN”D Day is a series of spirit days throughout the year  in which students and staff pay one dollar to participate.

“I’m a student representative on the SYCSD Foundation and wanted to do something to be a more active member,”  said Barnhart.

Like most teacher, Patti McGee likes the idea of having staff contribute to a scholarship fund.

“I had two daughters who both were recipients of scholarships from a foundation.I am more than happy to assist students in furthering their education; dressing wacky  or wearing pajamas is a plus,”said McGee.

English teacher Madison Carr thinks that this fundraiser is a good idea too.

“ I think that it is a good idea to get students and teachers involved to raise money for a scholarship for a student,”said Carr.

The spirit days will be going on throughout te school year: December 17-Holiday Cheer day, March 8- Pajama day and May 5- Twin day.

Barnhart hopes to have “FUN”D day continue even after he graduates from school.
