This year, varsity lacrosse players asked Lower School students to make a contribution toward their $1,500 Relay for Life goal.

"I wanted to get the Lower School involved in Relay for Life, and decided this was a good way to combine it with the efforts of the lacrosse team," said Theresa Dulaney, Lower School P.E. teacher and varsity lacrosse coach.

Students in grades pre-k through five who made a donation to Relay, the American Cancer Society's annual fundraiser, got a special treat on March 31 ... the opportunity to "pie" a senior varsity lacrosse player - or Coach Dulaney herself - in the face.

At the end of the day, the lacrosse team counted the donations they had received from Lower Schoolers, only to find out they had exceeded their overall goal.

"Lower School students donated a total of $2,180.28 to Relay for Life," said Dulaney. "This is tremendous! We are so thankful to everyone who made a contribution."
