Interact Club - Relay for Life
Have you heard of Relay for Life (RFL)? It is the biggest fundraising organization for cancer research, treatment, and support in the country. Relay takes on many different forms across the country and raises millions of dollars, but since Covid, participation in RFL has dropped while the number of cancer cases has dramatically risen.
We are trying to accomplish two big goals with our final event of the year. We want to hold a festival near the end of the school year, that would include not just the relay aspect of Relay for Life but a carnival/festival atmosphere. Our Interact Club plans to partner with the RHS Interact Club and try to bring back the momentum of Relay for Life that our community had years ago. Cancer has not slowed down with Covid, but the fundraising took a nose dive that has been hard to recover from. We know it has affected so many people even in our small community of Roswell. The American Cancer Society/ACS is in dire need of funds and fundraising to continue the research and support of those dealing with cancer.
We also know that our students loved the festivals that their elementary schools put on every year, so much that they would go back to them even after they left elementary school. We are hoping that this festival for Relay for Life can become part of a CMS/RHS tradition that would be good old-fashioned fun for our students who are still kids despite their size.
We need your help to spread the word and we are looking for volunteers to join Relay and help us organize and run the First Annual CMS/RHS Relay for Life Festival. I think it will be a lot of fun and further bring our community together while helping those who are affected by cancer. If you are interested in helping in any way, please email Jennifer LaPietra at Lapietra@fultonschools.org. We plan to have our first relay meeting the second week in February. We would love your help ahead of time or during the actual festival or both. Thank you!!!

Donate Today to the Spring Break Drive
Huskies Helping Huskies assists CMS students and families in need with school supplies, toiletries, snacks, meals, and other urgent requests.
We are currently requesting donations to support our families during the upcoming SPRING BREAK (April 1-5). Most of our HHH students receive breakfast and lunch at school, so we aim to fill this need during the break. Your financial support of the drive allows families to receive a WALMART gift card for household needs and a gift card to enjoy a fun outing (movies, mini golf, Stars & Strikes, etc.) Donate any amount today via Venmo or PayPal. With the help of the Interact Club, we are also collecting donations of laundry detergent for each family. We appreciate your support!
Interested in helping even more? Our team is looking for new members to assist with fundraising, social media marketing, grant writing, accounting, and more. If you'd like to get involved, send a note to Kristi Glickman at kglickm@gmail.com.
Thank you for supporting our community!
