Got Hope?!? The students at ILES do!
Indian Lake Elementary School hosted its second annual Hope Walk recently.
First, students spelled out the word "Hope" across the football field. Then students lined the entire track and observed a moment of silence for those lost to cancer. Finally, several survivors joined the students for a Survivor Lap to officially start the event.
Pam Hershberger (Farrah Hershberger), Gayle Dye (Nora Wickline), Pam Jenkins (Morgan Widener), Robert Fain and Vicki Robinson (Cooper and Cora Corcoran), Roni Lile, (Charlotte Jackson), Guy and Tina Knight (Emmy Everhart, Colton Everhart and Dawson Snipes), Wes Williams (Shellby Williams), Beth Thompson (Jase Thompson), Brooke Snow (Bella Oakley), Brittany Burger (Kami Shaffer), Kathy Beair (Morgan Beair) and Crystal Lillicrap (Lillie Henderson) have all beat cancer over the past few years. After the Survivor Lap, students came out to run and walk on the track throughout the day.
For the past week, ILES students have been raising funds with sales of t-shirts, bandanas, and hats, plus a Coin War and more.
All Hope Walk proceeds will benefit the Logan County Cancer Society and help support local people who are dealing with cancer.
The total raised so far to give to the Logan County Cancer Society was more than $2,000.
