Below are photos from the celebration of Ferndale Middle School Builders Club's campaign to raise money and awareness for cancer research. The students used a math competition to see how many students could memorize the factors of "Pi". Those with the greatest number got their names put into a drawing. If a student's name was chosen, he/she got the privilege of throwing a pie at a selected teacher. Altogether eight teachers/administrators put their lives on the line....including our very own Kiwanian, Mark Harris, Principal of Ferndale.

The students in three weeks raised $1,100. Of that amount $750.00 will go to St. Jude Children's Hospital for cancer research. The remaining $350.00 was given in a pledge to Mrs. Kate Finch, teacher at Ferndale, who will be running in the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Marathon to honor her father who recently died of that cancer.

The Builders are excited to have exceeded their initial goal of $300 (accomplished in 3 days), and their ultimate goal of $1,000. Faculty advisors Ms. Ann Starr, and Mr. Alan Williams, did an outstanding job in providing the supervision and leadership for our young people. We are proud of our Builders Club and thrilled to claim them as a vital part of our Kiwanis club. These young folks and advisors will also be assisting us with Pancake Day.
