Daniel Morgan Builders Club Holds Mini Relay for Life
by Bill Jeunette

The Builders Club of Daniel Morgan Middle School in Winchester held a "Mini Relay for Life" on May 30th after school from 3:30 to 8:30 using the school track. The Relay was held prior to the scheduled Community event so that students could participate at the school rather than at the location of the community event, which is scheduled after the end of the school year. The club fielded several teams as well as teams from teachers and grades. Weather was warm but not hot enough to discourage the 45 students and Builders and 15 teachers and parents from entering the Relay. At the end of the 5 hour Relay and the proceeds were tallied the Mini Relay for Life had earned $2,318.56 to be forwarded as part of the community program later in the month. Our Builders can be proud of their commitment to a worthy cause.
