Mini-THON 2012

 

Now that we have had our end of year assembly, you are aware that we had another successful mini-THON.  I wanted to take a moment to congratulate Misty and Eric Wilson, mini-THON student committee members and everyone else who helped make mini-THON an amazing event for the Red Lion Community.   

There are so many things about mini-THON that make it a great event, but what I believe is so special about mini-THON is that for one evening, so many of our students come together as a family to help fight childhood Cancer!  Our students don’t let their traditional circle of friends limit who they hang out with at mini-THON—the students come together as one. 

For those of you who have attended a mini-THON, you know that it is an emotional night.  It is a night filled with laughter, tears, more laughter, excitement, exhaustion--I could go on, but I couldn't do the night justice by trying to describe it in a blog post.  Thanks to Megan Axe, I have some pictures that helped show what mini-THON was like for the over 350 people that were lucky enough to attend.

Every hour, students came together to do

Would you voluntarily dress up in a velcro suit and stick yourself to a wall?

Students volunteered to have their hair cut and donated to make wigs!
