Kick Cancer week not only promotes school spirit, but more importantly, raises money for the American Cancer Society. Student council will have activities planned during the three lunch periods during the week and has contacted numerous local businesses to donate to the cause. With signs posted around the school, student council is hoping for more participation than ever.
