Washington High School student council members visited Marthasville Elementary on Wednesday, January 22, to promote the 20^th Annual Jordan Scheer Memorial Children’s Relay for Life, scheduled for Friday, April 25, at Scanlan Stadium on the WHS campus.

The event is put together by the WHS student council and leadership class. Proceeds are donated to the Franklin County Relay for Life and benefit the American Cancer Society and cancer awareness. Approximately $410,000 has been raised in the 19 years of the event.

Three of the event’s Student Chairs, Josie Kluesner, Madelyn Ley and Emma Grafrath were on hand at Marthasville to hand out flyers and speak to the students about the Children’s Relay for Life. Student Chairs will visit all seven elementary schools in the district over the next couple of weeks to promote the event.

The relay is named in honor of Jordan Scheer, a WHS graduate who lost his battle to cancer shortly after his graduation in 2005.

Third through sixth grade children from area schools will participate in the event. They must have already registered to attend.
