George Watkins Elementary School SCA hosted a school-wide dodgeball fundraiser tournament April 23. Through student participation, the program raised $485 to donate to St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital. The group also raised $600 through a bake sale campaign entitled “50 cents for #50” for the Jacob Vick Student-Athlete scholarship fund. Pictured above, GWES officers (starting at top left) Haley Baker, Cort Kegley, Tara Smith, and Brayden Hohman hold the “Trojan Bear,” a donation made by Jan Lull.
