On February 23, National Honor Society (NHS) kicked off their Dance Marathon Spirit Week with a superhero theme. "Being at Dance Marathon allowed me to help people who are in need of it, not only by donating but also by growing their supportive family," said junior Ilana Mazurovsky. "Fundraising isn’t just giving money to someone. It’s understanding what people are going through and being the support they need to keep fighting whatever it is they are fighting. I was able to experience a lot of emotion and listen to different people's stories. I need to say how truly great Dance Marathon is."

On Wednesday, students like sophomore Riley Lewis joined in a lively round of musical chairs.

"Facing pediatric illness is already every families worst nightmare, and if we can do anything to help remove part of that burden from those families, then I believe that it is our duty as members of our community," explained Bullen.
