Waynesville Sixth Grade Center students, their families and staff raised $821 for Snack in Pack through their March Madness competition.

This collaborative effort between the Student Lighthouse Team and WSGC Student Ambassadors featured four weeks of activities as follows:

· Week 1: Canned Food Drive Competition

· Week 2: Coin Drive (Congratulations to Jody Taylor’s class for the win!)

· Week 3: Homeroom Basketball Competition (Congratulations to William Beistel’s class!)

· Week 4: Student vs. Staff Basketball Game (Staff came out on top this year!)
