Relay for Life Fundraisers

Various organizations at Tioga Middle School including Student Council, Cheerleaders, and Journalism, will be participating in the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life on May 13 in honor of Chalisa, an 8th grader at our school who is battling cancer. At Relay For Life, our team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness and help the American Cancer Society save more lives from cancer.

Team Chalisa will be sponsoring various fund-raisers to help us reach our goal of raising $3000.00 to donate to the American Cancer Society.

* De-feet Cancer Weeks -Students can pay $1.00 to wear a hat or flip-flops ($2.00 for both) March 21 – April 1.

*Kiss the Pig – Jars will be placed in the cafeteria with the teachers’ and other faculty members’ pictures on them. Students can bring coins to put in the jars. The teacher who has the most money in his or her jar will kiss a pig at the student/teacher basketball game. You can begin filling jars on February 1.

*Student/Teacher Basketball Game – On March 7, the middle school students will play basketball against the school faculty. The game will begin at 5:00. A faculty member will kiss a pig during half-time. Donations will be accepted at the game.

*Luminary Sales – Luminaries are white paper sacks that will be displayed around the track at Relay for Life. The sacks can be decorated and will be labeled with a person’s name. Luminaries can be bought in honor of or in memory of someone who has battled cancer for $5.00.
