By London Hillis This week at BRHS is fundraiser week and the student council, along with the administration, are collaborating with the non profit organization “Together We Rise,” which specializes in raising funds for children in foster care. Throughout the week, activities are planned by the school to raise money; one activity in particular is taking place during lunch today: the admin spin. When money is donated, the admin will have to spin a wheel which contains a "punishment." Abigail Fuhriman, the student council member in charge of organizing the fundraiser, said that some of the punishments for the administration will be to ”egg them, have them eat a scorpion, or to have [them] wear makeup the whole day.”
Monday through Thursday there is going to be a Christmas song playing over the intercom in between every class. Students are given the option to pay to stop or start the music; this is sure to raise plenty of funds to help the needy considering Christmas music is a big hit this time of year. Along with the constant festive spirit playing over the intercom, on Wednesday during lunch the student council will be selling waffles for a dollar a piece. This is Fuhriman’s favorite activity and she hopes it is the most successful in raising money this week. Fuhriman said they chose to collaborate with “Together We Rise” because “It goes along with the schools theme ‘rise’ and we get to assemble packages so it’s more like a service project along with a donation.” This fundraiser is also Fuhriman’s first time organizing an event and she said, “It’s been stressful, but fun.” The student council has worked really hard on the activities for fundraiser week and it would be amazing to raise plenty of money for foster children. Thanks to Fuhriman, fundraiser week will be as amazing as it always is, and, as Bears, we will help as many people as possible!
